On October 12th, all of Spain celebrates the Día de la Hispanidad, also known as the Fiesta Nacional de España. This national holiday is all about pride, history, and identity – a moment for Spaniards to reflect on their shared culture and heritage.
The day’s origins go back to 1492, when Columbus first set foot on the American continent. This marked the beginning of a new era: the rise of the Spanish Empire. Spain soon became one of the most powerful and prosperous nations in the world.
Today, the occasion is marked by an impressive military parade in Madrid, where the Spanish army showcases its strength before the King and the Prime Minister. But above all, it’s a celebration of unity and national pride – a day when the Spanish flag waves everywhere and the streets come alive with music, colour, and tradition. 🇪🇸
The term Hispanidad refers not only to Spain itself, but also to the global Spanish-speaking community. More than 472 million people in 27 countries across 5 continents share the Spanish language and culture. Across the world, October 12th is a moment to celebrate the richness of Spanish identity.
For us at CoBla Vastgoed, the Día de la Hispanidad is more than a holiday – it’s a reminder of the strength of culture and connection. Whether you live in Spain, work there, or dream of owning a second home under the sun 🌞🌴, the Spanish lifestyle never fails to inspire.
