FÊTE NATIONALE

It is the day of the Spanish National Day, commemorating the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492. The people of Madrid don't hesitate to take out their Spanish flags and walk around the city. And all this little world converges on the traditional parade of the armed forces that takes place north of the city. A parade that takes place in the presence of the royal family, the most important ministers and political representatives and the presidents of the Spanish provinces. Obviously, it is a public holiday.
