Dia de la Raza
One of the most feted Latino American Holidays is the Day of the Race, known as Dia de la Raza in Spanish speaking nations and communities. This Hispanic holiday is the celebration of the Hispanic heritage of Latin America. Celebrated on October 12 in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela, el Dia de la Raza is the day that is honored in other countries as Columbus Day. The event Dia de la Raza signifies and the way in which this Hispanic holiday is observed have become rather controversial in our days.
