Ascencion day - June 2 - Public holiday in Spain?

I am about to finally book flight tickets to Pamplona and back (am based in Copenhagen) - and this is done with a lot of trepidation - I will be way outside my comfort zone in doing this, but I have decided that now it must be. (Thank you all on this site for giving me the courage)

My question is whether June 2 - Ascencion day in the Danish calender - is a holiday in Spain?

The reason for my asking is that I will need to get back to Pamplona for a flight leaving on Friday June 3. And if public transportion will be more or less shut down because of a holiday, I might need to take this into account. I guess that I can get at least bus transport back from whichever place I may have come to in the camino - to a train station and then get a train onwards to Pamplona?

I plan to leave on May 28, and have no ambition to reach Santiago before leaving for home again - I see walking the camino as a goal itself - and may then come back later to finalize it.

Thanks for any information and advice that any of you good people may provide.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
Hi - as far as I can see it isn't a national public holiday although there may be local holidays - the Ascension for example is a local fiesta in Santiago, however it does not appear to be so in Pamplona.
