Andalusia Day, or Día de Andalucía, is observed in Spain every year on February 28. This day commemorates the 1980 referendum that granted the Andalusian community full autonomy. Celebrations typically include decorating balconies with the green and white flag of Andalusia and bunting. Cultural competitions are a traditional part of the festivities, and schools often close for the so-called White Week, with a cultural celebration occurring the Friday before. The day begins with a traditional Andalusian breakfast, featuring toast with olive oil and orange juice, while students engage in coloring activities related to the region's history and customs. Additionally, Andalusia Day coincides with the delivery of the Medals of Andalusia, recognizing notable figures from the region.
