Spanish people usually had 30 days in summer (quite often August) on holiday a year. But nowadays most people enjoy 15 days between July and September and the other 15 days during the rest of the year.
We also have several days at Christmas time and Easte time and some bank holidays. Some of these depend on the Region you live, for example the 7th of July is bank holiday in Navarra (“San Fermin”) or the 15th of May in Madrid (“San Isidro”). However other bank holidays are celebrated in all the country, such as the 6th of December when we commemorate the Spanish Constitution.
When there is a working day between a bank holiday and the weekend we say we have a bridge (“un puente”). During these days many people travel by car from their cities to the beaches or the countryside and there are a lot of traffic jams on the road. This is quite dangerous because there are many car accidents.
