What is 'DĂa de AndalucĂa'?
'AndalucĂa Day' is a public holiday celebrated only in the region of AndalucĂa, Spain. It commemorates the day of 28 February 1980 when the referendum was held for AndalucĂa to become an autonomous community within Spain.
The region is made up of the eight provinces of AlmerĂa, CĂĄdiz, CĂłrdoba, Granada, Huelva, JaĂ©n, MĂĄlaga and Sevilla (Seville is the capital of AndalucĂa).
To mark the day, you will see the green and white colours of the AndalucĂan flag decorating the streets, everyone will be having the day off school and work, and eating the traditional snack of bread or toast with olive oil and a little bit of fresh tomato and jamĂłn serrano. Yumbo. đ„Ș
Here are 3 reasons why I †AndalucĂa:

đ€ a lot of really good flamenco comes from the south of Spain, and
đ the beautiful and majestic AndalucĂan dancing horses â I once had the pleasure and honour of dancing in a show with some beautiful riding horses. It was a wonderful experience! See đ·'s:
