What makes the Spain calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Spain signature lives in the other dates: Asunción (Assumption, August 15), found in no other country in the dataset; Fiesta Nacional de España (National Day of Spain, October 12), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Fiesta del trabajo (May 1) to Asunción (August 15): 106 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 10 nationwide holidays and Asunción will fall on a Sunday (August 15).
