If you think it is a happy bride being driven to her groom, you are totally wrong! This girl is not getting married, she is turning fifteen!
In Spain, people often celebrate their birthdays twice (image via ) The whole day is more about celebrating the person whose birthday it is, not about material values.Īnother prominent birthday tradition that has reached the U.S.
However, you may expect some small presents from close relatives and, of course, many “ !Feliz Cumpleaños!” (Happy years complete!) from everyone who knows it’s your birthday. It is not customary to send cards or give presents, unless there is a celebration party or dinner. So, the person who has cumpleaños (the Spanish word for birthday, which literally translates to “the years completed”) may take their family and friends out to dinner and bring some treats to share with coworkers (not the other way round, like in the U.S.). The celebration is very seldom a grand event, unless it is the birthday of a girl who is turning fifteen, but we’ll tell you about the special date later. In Spain, people often celebrate their birthdays twice: the first time on the actual date of their birth, and the second – on their Saint’s day (the day of the saint they were named after).
