DAY OF ANDALUSIA, 2014

Next week we are going to celebrate the "Day of Andalusia" (or "Andalusia Day"). It commemorates the February 28, 1980 referendum on the Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia, in which the Andalusian electorate voted for the statute that made Andalusia an autonomous community of Spain. It is often a day of celebration in schools with a traditional Andalusian breakfast, consisting of a slice of toast with a thin layer of olive oil and orange juice; students color pictures that refer to the symbols and insignia of Andalusia, its history and customs, put on plays and sing the regional anthem.
