About National Day of Spain
Spain's National Day, the Fiesta Nacional, falls on 12 October each year. It marks the date in 1492 when Christopher Columbus first reached the Americas, an event that opened Spain's ties with the wider world. Today it is a public holiday across the country, celebrated as a moment of national unity that brings together the diverse peoples and regions of the Spanish state.
The centrepiece of the day is a large military parade in central Madrid, attended by the King, Queen and the country's leaders. Regiments march down the Paseo de la Castellana while an air-force flypast trails the red and yellow of the national flag across the sky. Crowds line the route, and events, receptions and flag-raising ceremonies take place in towns and cities across Spain.
