General Strike in Ibiza: Which Municipal Offices Will Open and Will Escoleta de Vila Remain Open?

08 November 2026

Ibiza Town Council has established minimum services for its municipal facilities and essential services during the general strike scheduled for Wednesday, 11 November 2026. The arrangements will ensure that selected municipal offices remain open, home assistance continues and the municipal Escoleta de Vila operates throughout the school day.

The strike will last 24 hours and affects workers in both the public and private sectors. The municipal decree was signed on 9 November, following an agreement reached unanimously at the negotiating table for municipal employees on 6 November.

Although several municipal facilities will remain open, residents should be aware that reduced staffing may affect the availability and speed of some services.

Which Municipal Offices Will Remain Open?

The Citizen Services office at Calle Canarias 35 will operate with three members of staff:

  • One support worker.

  • One administrative assistant responsible for the General Entry Register.

  • One administrative assistant responsible for the municipal population register (Padrón).

The municipal premises at Plaza de España will also have one support worker on duty.

The Economy and Finance services, also located at Calle Canarias, will have two administrative assistants. One will be assigned to Treasury and the other to the Tax Management Service.

The decree also provides for the municipal facilities at CETIS and Plaza de España, number 1, to remain open during the strike. However, the reduced number of staff means that normal levels of public attention cannot be guaranteed.

Escoleta de Vila Will Remain Open

Parents using the municipal Escoleta de Vila can expect the centre to remain open throughout the school day on Wednesday.

The minimum staffing requirement will include the centre's director, or the person replacing them, and one early-years educator for every three classrooms.

These minimum services are intended to maintain access for children and staff members who do not take part in the strike, while ensuring the safety of the children attending the centre.

The arrangement follows the minimum-service requirements established for early-years education centres in the Balearic Islands.

Home Assistance and Municipal Cemeteries

The municipal Home Assistance Service will continue operating with three family support workers during the strike.

Minimum staffing will also be maintained at the municipal cemeteries, where one gravedigger and one administrative assistant will be required to remain on duty.

These provisions are intended to ensure continuity of essential assistance and cemetery services during the 24-hour stoppage.

Who Will Be Required to Work?

The heads of the relevant municipal services or the councillors responsible for each department will designate the individual employees required to cover the minimum services.

Those employees must be formally informed of their designation.

The municipal decree also warns that failure to comply with the minimum-service obligations may result in sanctions under the applicable legislation.

Minimum Services Apply Throughout Wednesday 11 November

The arrangements will apply for the full 24 hours of Wednesday, 11 November 2026.

Residents should not assume that every municipal department will be operating as usual. Although the specified facilities and essential services must maintain minimum staffing, the number of employees available may affect appointments, administrative procedures and waiting times.

Anyone planning to visit a municipal office in Ibiza Town should take the reduced staffing into account before travelling.
