National public holidays include Navidad (25 December), Reyes (6 January), the Día de los Trabajadores (1 May), the Día de la Hispanidad/del Pilar (12 October) and the Día de la Constitución (6 December). Additionally, each autonomous region and town has at its discretion a small number of public holidays that usually coincide with local traditions like a patron saint's day or other celebrations such as Carnaval. Thus there is a holiday in Madrid for San Isidro, the city's patron saint, and one in Catalonia for Sant Jordi, who is the patron saint of the region.

FIESTAS

Coming from the same Latin root as “feast”, the Spanish word fiesta has long since entered the vocabulary of English. This is largely because of the importance of such celebrations in the Spanish-speaking world. Every town or village, of whatever size, has its day (if not week) of annual celebrations. These may be associated with the local patron saint or with some historical event, such as Independence Day. On these days people may dress up in traditional clothes, take part in traditional dances and eat special dishes associated with the festival. There may be firework displays and street processions of a more or less religious nature, and, as the saying goes, a good time is generally had by all.

12 авось да небось

авось да небось < да (и) как-нибудь>, тж. авось, небось да (и) как-нибудь

погов., прост.

things will settle one way or another; maybe, probably, somehow or other; leaving things to chance; taking what comes; cf. something will turn up

- Родства своего не помним, наследства никакого не ожидаем, живём вполне безнадёжно, день да ночь - сутки прочь, и всё - авось, небось да как-нибудь... (М. Горький, Жизнь Матвея Кожемякина) — 'We've forgotten we're all kin and we've lost hope in the future, so we just go on living without a spark of life, day after day, from hand to mouth, taking what comes.'

Оптимистической силе русского народа потом приделали тульской работы ярлычок и написали на нём с самоуничижительным юмором: "Авось, небось и как-нибудь". (А. Макаренко, Флаги на башнях) — The provincial stamp was imprinted on the Russian people's quality of optimism, and on it was to be read that motto of self-humiliating humour: 'maybe, probably, somehow or other'.

- К сожалению, авось да небось - ещё неокончательно повергнутые столпы. С чем распрощаться надо было ещё в сорок первом, - проговорил Бессонов также утомлённо, обращаясь к командующему артиллерией. (Ю. Бондарев, Горячий снег) — 'Unfortunately, we still cling to the old habit of leaving things to chance. That's something we ought to have parted with in 1941,' Bessonov said in the same weary tone, addressing the Commander of Artillery.
