October 12 is also the Official Spanish Language Day, the Feasts of both Our Lady of the Pillar and the Virgin of Guadalupe as well as the Day of the Spanish Armed Forces. The 12 of October is also an official festivity in most Hispanic America, though under varying names, mainly celebrating the historical and cultural ties among them and Spain. The roots of today’s Spanish identity and cultural diversity are to be found in the interaction and fusion of peoples which have over the course of three millennia arrived and settled in Hispania or Iberia. The National Day is massively celebrated in Spain through numerous public and private events organized throughout the country to praise the nation’s heritage, history, society and people.
