The Spanish employment ministry has published the list of national holidays for 2023 (the equivalent to Bank Holidays in the UK), commonly known as Red Days, or the working calendar.
Red Days are national holidays, recognised throughout the country, to which we must also add the regional holidays, in our case those celebrated in the Valencian Community, and also local holidays in Torrevieja.
Here is a list of red days, regional holidays and local holidays in Torrevieja for 2023:
