Everything about Hispanic Day totally explained
The
National Holiday of Spain or
Hispanic Day (
Fiesta Nacional de España or
Día de la Hispanidad, in
Spanish;
Festa Nacional d'Espanya or
Dia de la Hispanitat, in
Catalan/Valencian;
Festa Nacional de España or
Día da Hispanidade, in
Galician;
Espainiako Jai Nazionala or
Hispanitate Eguna, in
Basque) is the
national day of
Spain. It is held annually on
October 12 and is a
national holiday which commemorates the exact date of
1492 when
Christopher Columbus first set a foot in
the Americas.
To commemorate it, there's a parade led by the military (usually held in
Madrid) presided by the
Spanish King, who is the
Head of State, since Spain is politically organized as a
constitutional monarchy. The
Presidente del Gobierno has also a special role in the ceremony, only second to the King. Then a wide array of authorities, from foreign diplomats deployed in Spain to members of the Autonomous governments, are invited to attend the parade and
aerobatics performed by the
Spanish Armed Forces.
In the Autonomous Community of
Aragon, this date also commemorates
Our Lady of the Pillar (their patroness).
It is also observed by the
Civil Guard.
