Dia de la Constitución Española and Immaculada Concepción

Clinica Dental Noruega is closed on Friday, December 6 and Monday, December 9 due to national holidays, first “Dia de la Constitución” and then “Inmaculada Concepción”.
Dia de la Constitución Española, Constitution Day, is a national holiday in Spain. We celebrate that Spain had a referendum on the new constitution that was voted through on December 6, 1978. The event has been celebrated and noticed since 1983 when the parliament decided that it should be a national holiday.

Our current constitution from 1978 is Spain’s seventh constitution. The first was created after the War of Independence in 1812 and the current one a couple of years after the death of the dictator Franco. The current constitution with its 169 articles had three basic goals: to consolidate tolerance, respect and pluralism; solve the political reform of the state; and resolve the territorial issue. It is with this constitution that the possibility to have autonomous regions was created. Today there are 17 autonomous regions and two autonomous cities.
