Salud to Spain’s National Day!
Hola, hola! Before we bid adios to October, let’s look back at one of the many celebrations of the month: The Fiesta Nacional De España or the National Day of Spain. It is annually celebrated on 12 October, and in its honor, the Embassy of Spain invited us to a lovely celebration at Fairmont Makati.
