vacaciones

Break from work

Vacaciones is Spanish for vacation or holidays—a period away from work or school for rest and recreation.

The word is plural in form, unlike English "vacation": Estamos de vacaciones (We're on vacation).

It appears in American English in bilingual contexts and tourism: Spring break vacaciones packages available.
