This October 12 is celebrated on Columbus Day, the day of the English and Spain as a nation. This day celebrates Columbus, a guy who probably was not English, was in error to a continent that had arrived 500 years before Leif Eriksson. Does this casualty defines us as English? Is this day worthy of celebration? Would we be less English if the ships of Columbus had been sunk in the Atlantic? Do you collect this day, the essence of our Celtic and Iberian roots, the Greco-Roman civilization instilled by the Romans, or the input and tdo-cultural by the Germanic peoples and Afro-Asian (Phoenicians, Carthaginians , Arabs and Berbers ) that have passed through Spain? 3000 years of history reduced to a boating accident . I will not celebrate the day in Spain this October 12, will celebrate a week later, on 19 October. This October 19 met 540 years of marriage between Isabella and Ferdinand, the current kings who shaped the English nation, heir to the Visigothic Hispania Roman. I think this date, the marriage of these kings, symbolizing the birth of our modern nation, and should be declared a National Day of Spain.
