The School Holiday System in Spain
In Spain, the school holiday system is primarily set by regional governments, leading to differences in holiday dates between autonomous communities. The main holidays include summer, Christmas, Easter, as well as breaks for All Saints' Day and some other local or national holidays. Each autonomous community can adjust the dates based on local traditions, regional holidays, and climatic considerations.
