Why is Saturday a holiday?

[Anniesantiago]

Can someone tell me why Saturday is a holiday in Pamplona?
I was just informed the hotel reception will be closed.

Doesn't seem to be a general holiday

Hi Annie! Have checked and Googled this, and can find no Spanish or Pamplona local bank holidays listed for 7th May.
Maybe the reception is closed for hotel reasons - staff shortage, redecoration etc.
Sorry can't help - but I've tried!

Ok. Thanks.

Maybe because one of the biggest gastronomical / foodie events in Pamplona is under way.

Hotelstaff might be out for some mariscos

Nothing indicated. It could only be a holiday at the hotel.

I'm not sure Spain needs a reason to declare a holiday. It just seems to be spontaneous eruption of frivolity!

The Saturday night I spent in Pamplona a week ago, people were on the street partying and singing until 4 AM. Ear plugs didn't work that well trying to get to sleep.

May 7th is not a holiday in Pamplona, nor in the municipality neither on the outskirts.

May i ask which is that hotel?
