Argentina, Spain and Peru Set November Holiday Rules

Territorial scope of the dates is set, leaving public services and payrolls at risk of disruption if the papal visit goes ahead.

Overview

  • Argentina’s Decree 1103/2026 designates Monday 9 November 2026 as a national holiday for the papal visit, while Tuesday 10 November applies only to Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires and Córdoba and Wednesday 11 November applies only to Buenos Aires province.
  • The Argentine government also moved the Día de la Soberanía Nacional to Monday 23 November 2026, creating a national three‑day weekend for that observance.
  • Spain’s labour calendar lets autonomous communities choose whether to transfer All Saints’ Day when it falls on Sunday, and nine regions including Andalucía have made Monday 2 November 2026 a holiday.
  • Spanish case law from the Tribunal Supremo and Audiencia Nacional and labour counsel such as Alberto Venegas say workers must receive compensation or a substitute rest day when a transferred holiday coincides with their scheduled work shift.
  • Peru’s official calendar keeps Sunday 1 November 2026 as Día de Todos los Santos without a transfer to Monday, and employers must follow national rules on substitute rest or higher pay when employees work on that holiday.
