Saint Anne, mother of Mary in Christian tradition (chiefly the Protoevangelium of James), is celebrated liturgically on 26 July. She is patron of many places and of varied trades and groups; her cult spread widely from the later Middle Ages.
When a town hall runs a multi-day festival around that date, the labour bulletin does not always mark the 26th: it often names a «día hábil del ciclo»—a working day inside that festive week—as the countable local public holiday. Rest then falls on a useful weekday even if Mass or the main procession still follows the sanctoral calendar.
In Andalusia that wording is common in local-holiday calendars: it does not deny Saint Anne’s feast; for non-working-day purposes it transfers or selects one day of the cycle. In 2026 several Andalusian municipalities in the dataset link this label to 27 July.
