How to use bridge days in Cuba
A bridge day (sometimes called a sandwiched day) is a working day that sits between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking it as paid annual leave, you connect the holiday to the weekend and create a longer uninterrupted break.
For example, if a public holiday falls on a Thursday, taking Friday off gives you Thursday + Friday + Saturday + Sunday — four consecutive days using only one day of leave.
In Cuba 2027, there are 3 bridge day opportunities highlighted in the table above. The biggest gain is around Day before the Commemoration of the Assault of the Moncada garrison & Commemoration of the Assault of the Moncada garrison & Day after the Commemoration of the Assault of the Moncada garrison: take Friday off to turn a 4-day break into 5 consecutive days using only 1 day of annual leave.
