Semana Blanca is the Spanish equivalent. The February one is from 24-28 this year.

It is not usual for kids to have half term here but I know that schools in Madrid and Andalucia have a shorter Easter break and maybe that is because some get a mid term holiday in February, It might also be the case that it depends on the school because I know some international schools here get half term breaks and a shorter summer holiday.
