Once I got off the metro, there were hundreds of people lined up on opposite ends of the streets. The miltary band played for a while, and apparently the King and Queen of Spain were there too, but I didn't spot them. It was a really cool experience: people were waving their Spanish flags everywhere, chanting random stuff about their government and what not. They even had jets and helicopters flying overhead for a mini air show! The only thing that could have made it better if it was a parade for the Spanish soccer team!
Red and Yellow for the colors of the Spanish flag!
Apparently, Spain has some sort in snow/ice military. These guys wore snow gear and skis on their backs!
my boyfriend is in the air force at a base here in sevilla and you better believe the only day off he has where he wakes up early is día de la hispanidad! i could probably name every member of the royal family and tell you where all of the military forces are from...like the snow and ice patrol, which is from huesca!
