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.
