Public Holidays in Andorra 2026 and 2027: non-working days and long weekends

Andorra has 14 mandatory national holidays per year, approved each autumn by the Government by decree and published in the Official Gazette of the Principality of Andorra (BOPA). In addition to these, there are the specific holidays of each of the seven parishes (Andorra la Vella, Escaldes-Engordany, Encamp, La Massana, Ordino, Canillo, and Sant Julià de Lòria), which can add up to four additional days coinciding with their main festivals or their patron saint's day. If you are planning a visit, it is essential to keep this in mind: four days a year, commercial closure is total (shops, banks, and offices); on the remaining holidays, retail businesses related to tourism may remain open.
