October

National Day in Spain, known as Fiesta Nacional de España, is observed every year on October 12. This holiday commemorates the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the Americas and is celebrated worldwide under various names, such as Columbus Day in the USA and Día de la Raza in Latin America. The celebration began in 1935 as Día de la Hispanidad, emphasizing Spain's connection to the international Hispanic community, and was renamed Fiesta Nacional in 1987. The holiday also coincides with Armed Forces Day in Spain, which was established in 2000 and includes a military parade in Madrid. National Day serves to highlight Spain's historical monarchy and democracy.
