Legal tip 326. August and "cerrado por vacaciones"
Monday, August 2, 2010 @ 2:02 PM
Against what is thought and sometimes "lived" by many foreign people in Spain, August is not a whole-month-of-holiday eveywhere in Spain.
Political and Courts vacations are in August, this is official. Schools and Universities are all closed from around 15th of June to around 15th of September,
For the rest of the cases, we all just have 20-30 working days a year of vacations that every worker/company takes when it suits them. Of course many people take them in July-August due to the hot....sometimes unbearable... yes, we know you love our unbearable hot.
I am pasting here the Work calendar of our Work Ministery. Just in case any of you have the curiosity.
Have a great August, wherever you are and whatever you are doing or not doing :)
Best summer wishes,
Maria
