The Almanzora Valley’s local holidays for 2027 can now be marked on the calendar. This Thursday, the Boletín Oficial de la Junta de Andalucía (BOJA), the Andalusian regional government’s official gazette, publishes the local holidays of every municipality in Andalusia for next year: two per town, which are added to the twelve holidays for the whole of Andalusia.
They are paid non-working days that do not have to be made up, and they are agreed by each town council at a full council meeting. The list includes those that had been notified to the labour authority by 23 October.

A longer Holy Week and the odd long weekend
Arboleas, Cantoria, Fines and Taberno have chosen Easter Monday, 29 March: together with Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, which are holidays throughout Andalusia, their residents will have five days off in a row, weekend included.
The most repeated date is Wednesday 20 January, San Sebastián’s Day, which will be a holiday in Lúcar, Olula del Río, Sierro, Somontín and Tíjola. And August is the month with the most holidays: twelve towns have at least one.
In Albox, the All Saints’ weekend will be a long one: Friday 29 October is a local holiday and Monday 1 November is a holiday throughout Andalusia.
Oria is the only town in the Valley that does not appear on the list: its residents can ask the town council which days it has set.
The twelve holidays for the whole of Andalusia
According to Decree 84/2026, they are 1 and 6 January; Monday 1 March, because Andalusia Day falls on a Sunday; Maundy Thursday and Good Friday; 1 May; Monday 16 August, for the Assumption, which also falls on a Sunday; 12 October; 1 November; and 6, 8 and 25 December.
