Before we get to this week´s holidays, you will no doubt have noticed the “Back to School” promotions in shops, and the answer to that question in the Valencia region is 9 September 2024, generally, so a little over 3 weeks! And, if you want to think in advance, the answer to the next question is 18 June 2025.
As for local holidays, outside our immediate vicinity but of some significance, Monday19 August is a local holiday in Malaga and Tarragona.
Then we jump to Thursday, which is a holiday in Asturias, but of interest to our location due to their locals moving to this area.
Finestrat celebrates their fiesta on Friday and Saturday this week.
Saturday is a holiday in a few places around the country, but Almeria is of importance and Cieza in Murcia, and San Bartolome de Tirajana, more popularly known by one of the beaches on the Island of Gran Canaria within the municipality, Playa del Ingles.
Finally, on Sunday 25 August, there are no local holidays of note, but there is no doubt many of you will be delighted to be reminded that it is only 4 months to Christmas day.
