12-October: Hispanic Day

Today, 12th of October, Hispanic Day, Spaniards should feel, if not proud, at least dignified by the achievements and virtues other people born or raised on the same sole have done during the course of the History.



Furthermore, Spaniards and Hispanic Americans celebrate a universal achievement today. It is not a war victory or a divisive event like other Nations' Days. We celebrate the discovery of America. We celebrate the discovery of a New World and the meeting between Human Beings previously unknown to each others. Columbus' arrival at the American coast was the most striking step before N. Armstrong put his foot on the Moon surface.

All Spaniards and Hispanic Americans celebrate this Hispanic Day as a day of union with people outside their own environment and appreciate the belonging to a group that does not only base itself in race, language, tribe, birthtown, or religion: Hispanity is based on a sense of universality, adventure, justice and passion, and obviously on...

Love and freedom.
