Your format string is "EEEE,dd... but your string is "Miércoles, 01... notice the whitespace between ',' and 01

Anyway, RAE says dates and moths must be writen in lowercase...

There are several problems:

You missed prepositions 'de' in your format string, also for months' names is used MMMM not mmmm, furthermore, aaa means AM or PM, not 'a.m.' or 'p.m.'

This works, but notice AM at the end...

If you can, use this way to format and parse...



It's easier to maintain.

Yes, It's unparseable because that format is for CET times... as I said you, there's no way to parse a.m. or p.m. that's not a valid format, it must be AM or PM.

Please read the JavaDatesFaq for parsing String to Date.
