The Day of Andalusia is celebrated on February 28. It commemorates the day of the referendum on the initiative of the autonomous process of Andalusia in 1980 that gave full autonomy to the Andalusian community. The referendum on February 28 came after the large autonomist demonstrations of December 4, 1977.
In many towns and cities, the balconies are decorated, the Andalusian flag is hung on the bars and hooks of these, and Andalusian patio contests are held and in schools and institutes, they sing and play the Andalusian hymn to flute sounds. In schools before February 28, various activities are scheduled to commemorate the day of Andalusia. Today is a holiday in all Andalusian towns. Bread with olive oil and sugar is eaten in towns, cities, and schools.
The educational centres commemorate this festivity a few days before so that the students know the traditions of their land. In addition to eating antiquarian muffins with oil and sugar. Some schools organize a party to show some elements of Andalusia, such as the Andalusian anthem and the characteristic clothing of Andalusian culture, encouraging students to attend school dressed in such clothing if they wish. In the case of the girls, they dress in the flamenco dress, and the students in the Andalusian short dress, since it is an icon of Andalusian culture.
Happy Andalusian’s day, the earth of art and tradition! 💃❤️
