Hispanic Day
Hispanic Day is celebrated every October 12 to mark Christopher Columbus’ first landfall in the Americas. Did you know that Columbus was seeking a direct route to Asia when he discovered the Americas? Spain Hispanic Day, also known as Fiesta Nacional de España or Día de la Hispanidad, is an official holiday in most Hispanic America under different names. All government administrative buildings and offices, banks, and stores are closed for the day. The day shines a light on Spanish identity and heritage — the bond between the old European country and Spanish-speaking Latin America. Learn about the historical significance of this day in Spain.
History of Hispanic Day
Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the Americas significantly changed the continent and Europe, making Spain the first modern superpower and shaping the Americas’ ethnic, cultural, and political landscapes. Columbus’ first voyage to the New World began on the evening of August 3, 1492. He left the harbor of Palos de la Frontera with three ships: Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Niña, with Christopher Columbus traveling on the first ship.
On October 12, 1492, the crew on the Pinta sighted land and informed Columbus. Then, Columbus and his men landed on an island and were received by the indigenous Arawak people. He later named the island San Salvador, though it was called Guanahani by the locals. He also referred to the indigenous people as Los Indios, creating a generalized term that will be used to describe the indigenous people of North, Central, and South America.
Columbus later continued his voyage, exploring northeast of Cuba and the northern coast of Hispaniola. In December of that year, Columbus founded the settlement of La Navidad in present-day Haiti and left 39 men there, after the permission of the local chief. On March 15, 1493, Columbus arrived in Spain with native prisoners. His discoveries were received with great celebration and quickly spread across Europe.
On September 24, 1493, Columbus set sail for the New World with 17 ships and about 1,500 men. During this voyage, he encountered the islands of Dominica, Maria-Galante, Montserrat, Antigua, the Virgin Islands, and more. In November 1493, he returned to Hispaniola and established a temporary settlement in La Isabela, present-day Dominican Republic.
The Spanish settlers soon introduced the encomienda system, where indigenous people provided labor for the Spaniards in return for food, shelter, and protection. That, along with the introduction of European diseases and the exportation of enslaved locals, led to a drastic reduction in the indigenous population.
Columbus set sail again on May 30, 1498, locating the regions of modern-day Central and South America. In 1499, Columbus was accused of tyranny and corruption. He and his brother were arrested, shipped to Spain, and spent six weeks in jail. The Columbus brothers were later absolved of all charges by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and got sponsored for their fourth voyage to the New World.
On May 9, 1502, Columbus returned to the Americas with a fleet of 30 ships, but only one made it back to Spain. During this voyage, Columbus explored the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. However, he was impeded by a storm and shipwrecked in Jamaica, where they remained stranded for six months. In a desperate attempt to induce the natives to keep providing for him and his men, Columbus used the lunar eclipse of February 29, 1504, to scare them. He accurately predicted the event using Abraham Zacuto’s astronomical charts. On June 28, 1504, he and his men were rescued, and they arrived in Spain on November 7, 1504.
Spain’s National Day today is a celebration of the country’s heritage. The day is an homage to over 400 million people across continents united by a common language, history, and culture. The quintessential Spanish lifestyle is fully displayed – concerts, street shows, dance, people in regional costumes, and excellent food and wine. The National Day of Spain has faced many changes throughout the 20th Century, but many still regard it as one of the most important days in Spanish history.

Pinna rudis – Nacra de roca, abanico. Esta especie se encuentra hasta 60 m de profundidad, en el Océano Atlántico oriental (Azores, Santa Elena, Marruecos), en el Mediterráneo (Estrecho de Gibraltar, Almería, Lípari, Sicilia, Mar Tirreno, Mar Jónico), en el Mar Negro y en las aguas del Caribe, variando desde el Golfo de México y el sur de Florida hasta las Indias Occidentales y Bahamas.
P. rudis puede confundirse con los juveniles de Pinna nobilis, pero el primero muestra un caparazón más triangular y robusto, con menos escamas protuberantes y más grandes. Además, en P. rudis el color es más marrón o rosado anaranjado, mientras que en los juveniles de P. nobilis es homogéneamente amarillento. Por último, los adultos de P. nobilis superan fácilmente el tamaño de P. rudis y pierden totalmente las protuberancias y costillas en la superficie del caparazón. Además, los hábitats son diferentes, ya que P. nobilis se puede encontrar en fondos fangosos o arenosos, mientras que P. rudis prefiere las grietas de las rocas, aunque ello no es determinante.
Pinna nobilis, que está en peligro de extinción, se hibrida con la nacra de roca, ésta ha demostrado ser resistente al parásito que está acabando con las poblaciones de nacra en el Mediterráneo.
Ejemplar hallado en Playa Cristal. Villaricos (Cuevas del Almanzora) en Almería (España)
