The National Day of Spain or Día de la Hispanidad (Festa Nacional d'Espanya, in Catalan; Festa Nacional de España, in Galician; Espainiako Jai Nazionala, in Basque) commemorates the historical event of the discovery of America by Spain, a transcendental historical milestone for our country, which marks the beginning of a period of linguistic and cultural projection in America. All this occurred at a time when the modern State was being configured.
The celebration takes place on October 12, with the development of a ceremony in the Plaza de Colón in Madrid, where homage is paid to the Flag and to those who gave their lives for Spain, followed by a military parade along the Paseo de la Castellana.
The ceremony is presided over by HM the King and the Royal Family, the representatives of the powers of the State and the presidents of the Spanish autonomous regions are invited.
