SPAIN: Every October 12, the Spanish National Holiday takes place in Spain and in many other counties all over the globe. Commemorating the arrival of Christopher Columbus to America for the first time (October 12, 1492), it is also known as Columbus Day and is celebrated in the USA too. This year, the traditional parade of the Armed Forces returns, which coincides every October 12 with the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Day.
¡Feliz Día de la Hispanidad! Undos más que nunca.
“The sea will give each man a new hope, as sleep gives him dreams.”
— Christopher Columbus
