For those who thought that Julio did not bring as many holidays as June, an extra day arrives that several people can enjoy.
Although the national holiday calendar July only includes a confirmed date, in some locations in the country there will be an extra break that few take into account. These are holidays established for local reasons, which affect only certain municipalities and communes.
These days do not appear in the general almanacs, but for many workers and students they imply one day without activities. The week that begins on Monday 14 could have an unexpected pause for those who live in certain areas.
