Where is the public holiday on Wednesday October 9 and what happens to the public holiday on the 12th because it falls on a Saturday?

He 2024 work calendar decreed by the Generalitat establishes that this Wednesday October 9 is a paid and non-recoverable holiday of an autonomous nature throughout the Valencian Community (see here what is open in Valencia this Wednesday).

He 2024 work calendar In Valencia, October 12 is another holiday, in this case national, for the Hispanic Heritage Day. The Virgen del Pilar celebration falls on Saturday. Despite this, the public holiday is maintained and is not modified for any other day. For all workers who must go to work, this day is declared a paid and non-refundable holiday.

However, some commercial establishments like Mercadona announced the opening of their supermarkets on Saturday October 12, with specially reduced hours from nine in the morning to three in the afternoon.

To enjoy a new vacation in the 2024 work calendar of the Valencian Community, we will have to wait until next November 1, on the occasion of All Saints’ Day.
