Andalusia Day






February 28: Andalusia Day
            Andalusia Day is celebrated every February 28. It was this day in 1980 when the area of Southern Spain called Andalusia became an autonomous community of Spain. Schools and  businesses are usually closed, and school children will do some cultural activities or events to prepare for the day. The Andalusian flag is two green stripes and one white horizontal stripe, so you will see this everywhere. Some local towns have parades or cultural events to mark the day.

This is an excerpt from my book "Welcome to Rota," in the section that discusses Spanish culture and holidays.
