You should know:
An ad hoc holiday is sometimes given on the Feast of San José, 19 March.
Holidays falling on a weekend are not moved.
If a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, then there will be a tendency for many people to take an unofficial extra day on the Monday preceding or Friday following respectively. Companies and banks will be open, but probably under-staffed.
Weekend Sunday
