A particularly long weekend is in store throughout Spain. From Saturday to Wednesday, many Spaniards will travel, visit family or enjoy the expected good weather in Mallorca.
But what are these actual holidays that are coming up at the beginning of December?
December 6 is Constitution Day (Día de la Constitución).
On this day, Spaniards celebrate the 1978 referendum in which Spanish citizens approved the current Constitution.
On December 8, Spaniards celebrate the Blessed Virgin Mary - the patron saint of Spain.
Immaculate Conception Day is a national holiday.
On this day, according to legend, Mary was conceived by her parents without passing on the sin of the expulsion from paradise.
This holiday marks the beginning of the Spanish Christmas season.
