School Terms
Broadly similar to the English three term system, but with slightly shorter holidays at Christmas (December 23-January 8) and Easter (one week - "Semana Santa"), and longer in the summer (normally from 23th June to 15th September). In 2005, the summer holiday ran from June 22 until September 1/September 15, depending on the regions. The English half-term holiday does not exist, but there are frequent odd days and long weekends relating mainly to religious holidays and regional and national holidays.
