Sources: El Pais and Spain public holidays. Although Monday April 29 is not an official public holiday in Spain, many individuals will be taking that day as a bridge to the following day's May Day public holiday, in a practice locally called hacer puente (making a bridge), and many schools throughout Spain have officially given the day off to their students. The bridge holiday effect will be even greater in Spain's capital, Madrid, as the May 1st public holiday will immediately be followed by a public holiday specific to Madrid and its province, on Wednesday, May 2, 2007, making a 5-day holiday possible with only one unpaid day.
