It's a National holiday, in rememberance of when Columbus "discovered" what he thought was India, and Spain claims to be it's monopoly, though Columbus was Genovese. Many years ago, in Spain the expression "America Latina" was banned and "Hispanoamerica" imposed instead. Well, time heals everything, and ask the Mexicans and other South Americans what the feel about Spain and it's "Conquerors".
