National Holidays in Chile: The Origin and Meaning of the Celebrations of September 18 🇨🇱 Every year, Chile celebrates its Fiestas Patrias on September 18, a date full of tradition, joy, and national pride. But what is the origin and significance of this important holiday? The 18th of September marks the first meeting of the Government Junta in 1810, an event that initiated Chile's process of independence from Spain. It symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter in Chilean history, one where the nation would gradually gain its autonomy. Today, the celebrations last several days and include: 🎉 Traditional Dances: The cueca is the national dance, performed across the country during the celebrations. 🥩 Food and Drinks: Chilean barbecues (asados), empanadas, and traditional drinks like chicha and pisco are central to the festivities. 🎶 Festivals and Parades: From local Fondas (festive markets) to official military parades, the streets fill with people celebrating their culture and history. This holiday is not just about remembering the past but also celebrating the rich traditions and vibrant spirit of Chile. How do you celebrate Chile’s Fiestas Patrias?

¡Feliz 15 de agosto! ¡Feliz Día de la Asunción! Today, 15th August, is a national holiday in Spain and in many other parts of the world, known as the Assumption of Mary ("Asunción de la Virgen" in Spanish). 🇪🇸🌟 This significant religious holiday is celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church, commemorating the belief that the Virgin Mary was assumed into Heaven, body and soul, at the end of her earthly life. Across Spain, particularly in regions with a strong Catholic tradition, the day is observed with various religious ceremonies, processions, and community celebrations. In many towns and cities, festivities include religious processions, Mass services, and community events that honor the Virgin Mary. In August, it's common for businesses in Spain, especially small family-owned shops, to close for a significant portion of the month. This is particularly true in major cities like Madrid and Barcelona, where many residents take their annual vacation, often heading to the coast or countryside to escape the heat. As a result, some local shops, boutiques, and non-essential services reduce their hours or close entirely, especially around public holidays like the Assumption of Mary. This tradition highlights the importance of work-life balance in Spanish culture, where the long summer holiday is a treasured time for relaxation and family gatherings. 🌴😎 Tomorrow is also a local Fiesta in Dénia too where our Head Office is located. Dénia is actually one of the municipalities with the most fiesta holidays in all of Spain. How lucky are we 🥳🇪🇸 +34 683384750 spain@fineandcountry.com #fineandcountryspain #luxuryrealestate #luxuryhomes #lifestyleproperties #fiesta #holiday #asunciondelavirgen ##AssumptionOfMary #spain
