As stated earlier, the <\/span>d\u00eda de Hispanidad <\/b>on <\/span>October 12 <\/b>is the big day of the Spanish state, in which patriotism and love for all things Spanish are celebrated. One of the most eye-catching aspects is the great procession of<\/span> armed forces<\/b><\/a> that organize in the capital of Spain in honor of this day. It is here that the head of state, the king <\/span>Felipe VI<\/b>, resides, along with the <\/span>president <\/b>and the highest representatives of the <\/span>state powers<\/b> and presidents of the the autonomous regions, with the parade of each and every one of military strata who present themselves in their best finery. This solemn procession is <\/span>celebrated<\/b><\/a> in the capital and begins in the <\/span>intersection of<\/b> calle Gral. de Rey and calle Huesca<\/b> until the meeting of <\/span>Av. de la Pax with calle de Juan XXIII<\/b>. In the middle of both of these intersections stands the royal assembly with all the government representatives, precisely at the cross of <\/span>calle Gral. Vara de Rey \u2013 Av. P\u00e9rez Gald\u00f3s \u2013 Av. P\u00edo XII<\/b>. Along with the procession, you can also see an excellent aerial show performed by the nation\u2019s Air Force pilots and a representation of the national flag. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, the <\/span>d\u00eda de la Hispanidad <\/b>is the day that commemorates the country\u2019s ancient <\/span>history<\/b><\/a>, its accomplishments up until now and the potential milestones it will reach in the future. Although the <\/span>military display<\/b><\/a> is impressive, the goal of this day is not simply to exhibit the country\u2019s strength and intimidate other countries with their military force, but to demonstrate their brotherhood and unity with the international community through their contribution of their arsenal and willingness to help the international community in times of crisis or danger. Therefore, it is not a day that deals simply with showing force, but demonstrating cooperation and collaboration with allied countries. It is due to all this, and the ultimate goal of paying homage to <\/span>Spanish culture<\/b><\/a>, characteristics and successful contributions throughout its history, that the day of <\/span>October 12 <\/b>is one of the most notorious anniversaries in Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n
