Madrid's 2025 Holiday Calendar Published

The Comunidad de Madrid’s 2025 labor calendar was published in the region’s official gazette on Sept. 26, 2024, fixing 12 regional and national non-working days for the year. Decree 93/2024 said each municipality would add two local holidays, bringing the annual total to 14 paid, non-recoverable days off for workers in the region. For residents and employers in Morata de Tajuña, that means the 2025 schedule is a mix of nationwide dates, the Madrid regional holiday on May 2 and two municipal dates that calendar services list as May 15 and Sept. 8. The regional government said municipalities were responsible for setting those local holidays, which are then declared by the labor authority. ### Which holidays were fixed for all of the Comunidad de Madrid in 2025? (bocm.es) The official decree listed 12 common holidays for the whole region: Jan. 1, Jan. 6, April 17, April 18, May 1, May 2, July 25, Aug. 15, Nov. 1, Dec. 6, Dec. 8 and Dec. 25. Those cover New Year’s Day, Epiphany, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Labor Day, the Community of Madrid holiday, Santiago Apóstol, the Assumption, All Saints’ Day, Constitution Day, the Immaculate Conception and Christmas Day. (bocm.es) The Sept. 25, 2024 decision by the regional cabinet said the decree would take effect on publication in the Boletín Oficial de la Comunidad de Madrid. The same text said the calendar had to be sent to Spain’s Ministry of Labor and Social Economy before Sept. 30, 2024. ### How do local holidays fit into the 14-day total? Article 37.2 of Spain’s Workers’ Statute provides for two local holidays, and Madrid’s labor authority repeated that rule in its Dec. 3, 2024 resolution on municipal holidays for 2025. (bocm.es) The regional government also said in its Sept. 25 announcement that the 14-day ceiling includes 12 fixed regional and national dates plus two chosen by each town hall. The Direction General of Labor said those local holidays are paid and non-recoverable work-free days. (bocm.es) That matters for staffing plans, store openings, municipal services and school-adjacent scheduling, because the local dates vary from one municipality to another. ### What does Morata de Tajuña’s 2025 calendar appear to include? Morata de Tajuña’s 2025 holiday calendar, as listed by calendar compilers, includes May 15 and Sept. 8 as the municipality’s two local holidays. (bocm.es) Added to the 12 regionwide dates, that produces 14 non-working days for the town in 2025. The Dec. 3, 2024 regional resolution is the formal mechanism used to declare municipal holidays, but the searchable extract available here did not show Morata de Tajuña in the excerpted lines. (bocm.es) Because of that, the local dates for Morata in this article rely on calendar services rather than a directly retrieved municipal or gazette line naming the town. ### Where do the likely long weekends fall in 2025? The 2025 calendar places several holidays next to weekends, including Jan. 6 on a Monday, May 2 on a Friday, July 25 on a Friday and Dec. 8 on a Monday. (calendarios-laborales.es) Christmas Day falls on a Thursday, while Labor Day falls on a Thursday as well. For Morata de Tajuña, the local dates shown by calendar services would place May 15 on a Thursday and Sept. 8 on a Monday. Those placements are the kind of dates residents and businesses typically use when organizing leave, local events and operating hours. (bocm.es) ### Where should readers check the official record? The Boletín Oficial de la Comunidad de Madrid is the official source for the regionwide 2025 labor calendar, and the regional labor authority’s local-holiday resolutions are the official source for municipal additions. (bocm.es) The regional government’s Sept. 25, 2024 announcement said each town hall would incorporate its two local dates after the cabinet approved the 12 common holidays. (calendarios-laborales.es) The next reference point for readers is the municipal and regional record that names Morata de Tajuña’s two local holidays for 2025. Decree 93/2024 and the Dec. 3, 2024 labor resolution remain the governing documents for employers, workers and local institutions checking 2025 closures in Madrid. (bocm.es)
