The Embassy of Spain in Belgrade marked Spain’s National Day with a formal reception in the Serbian capital
The hosts of the evening, His Excellency Juan José Sanz Aparicio and Mrs. María Jesús Rivero Rivero, gathered friends of Spain and members of the diplomatic community for the occasion. It was an evening of encounters, conversations, and new stories that connect Spain and Serbia.
This day commemorates a moment from 1492, when the sea ceased to be a boundary — Columbus reached Guanahaní and opened a new chapter of lasting ties between Europe and the Americas.
On the same day, the city of Zaragoza celebrates the Día del Pilar, the feast of Our Lady of the Pillar, the patroness of Aragon and the Civil Guard. Thousands of people traditionally bring floral offerings, creating a mosaic of colors and togetherness that gives Spain its warm and recognizable face.
