Monday, October 12th is 'Hispanic Day' and a bank holiday throughout the country. No school, no offices, no banks, few shops (if any, open in the morning). The holiday used to be celebrated as the 'Discovery of America' until the natives thereof objected to being 'discovered', rightfully claiming they were there before Columbus. (See related JimenaPulse and Alexander Bewick items here.) (Question: Can anyone tell us which are the Hispanic countries represented by their flags above?)
