Las largas vacaciones del 36 ('Long Vacations of 36') is a 1976 Spanish drama film directed by Jaime Camino dealing with the effects of Spanish Civil War on citizens of a village near Barcelona.

The film won three awards at Berlin Film Festival: FIPRESCI Prize, Interfilm Award - Recommendation, and UNICRIT Award - Honorable Mention.

The original ending (Franco's cavalry entry in the village, intentionally showed as a blurred image) was cutten by Spanish censorship of that time. The film ends with all the Republicans marching to exile, and the fascist couple waiting at home.
