Every year, the Constitution Bridge offers many Spaniards the last opportunity to organize a getaway before Christmas. This is also the first opportunity to start buying gifts. This year, however, the bridge will not be the same for all citizens. December 6 – Constitution Day – and December 8 – Immaculate Conception Day – fall on Friday and Sunday respectively. The public holiday Sunday has been moved to Monday in some autonomous communities and a few lucky people will therefore be able to take advantage of a “macro-bridge” in 2024.
This was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE) in the resolution of October 23, 2023 of the General Directorate of Labor. According to their information, Friday 6 will be a national holiday, and Monday 9 will also be one of six autonomous communities: Aragon, Andalusia, Asturias, Castile and León, Extremadura and Murcia.
Madrid, Catalonia, Cantabria, Navarra, Euskadi, Galicia, Valencian Community, Castile-La Mancha, La Rioja, Balearic Islands and Canary Islands will not be able to enjoy the party on Monday, since in these communities The Feast of the Immaculate Conception remains on Sunday and Monday will be a work and school day like the other days of the calendar.
