El día de Andalucía.
Este día es un gran día para la gente que vive aquí. Nos gusta celebrarlo comiendo pan con aceite de oliva, azúcar y sal.
En este día, los colegios, generalmente las escuelas primarias, traen mucho pan, azúcar y sal, se lo dan a los niños y niñas y ellos se lo comen con sus amigos
En el recreo, a la misma vez que los profesores lo comen también, esta es una manera de celebrar este día.
Cantamos el himno de Andalucía, lo aprendimos en nuestros colegios desde que éramos muy pequeños, como con 4 o 5 años, y hacemos representaciones sobe este día en nuestro colegios.
En mi opinión, es un buen día, me gusta recordar de dónde venimos, la historia de Andalucía, y es un día divertido a la misma vez porque puedes disfrutarlo con tus amigos saliendo por ahí o, como dije antes, comiendo un buen pan con aceite de oliva y sal.
English Version:
This day is a pretty big day for the people who live here. We like to celebrate it eating bread with olive oil and sugar or salt.
In this day, the schools, mostly just the elementary schools, bring a lot of bread, sugar and salt, and they give it to the different children so they can eat it with their friends at lunch, and sometimes , the teachers eat it too , so that’s one way to celebrated this day here.
We sing the anthem for this day, we learned it in our schools since we were really little, like 4 o 5 years old, and we do representations about this day in the schools.
In my opinion, it’s a good day, I like to remember where I come from, the history of Andalusia, and it’s fun at the same time because you can enjoy it with your friends just hanging out or, as I said before, eating some good bread with olive oil and salt.

The Day of Andalusia
In many little towns and cities, people decorate their balconies, they put the Andalusian flag, and they do competitions about the " Patios Andaluces".
There is no school on the 28th of February, but many schools celebrate it a few days before: they eat Andalusian breakfast, they draw different symbols about Andalusia, their history and they culture, they do plays about its culture and they sing the anthem of Andalusia. As I said before, the typical Andalusian breakfast usually is bread with olive oil and sugar, and sometimes with tomato too.

Andalusian Anthem and Flag.
The National Anthem of Andalusia lyrics were written by Blas Infante, the father of Andalusian nationalism. They were adopted under the Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia[1]. The music for the anthem of Andalusia was composed by the former director of the municipal band of Sevilla José del Castillo Díaz. The origins of the music are vaguely inspired on the Santo Dios, a religious cantic widely spread in rural Andalusia, usually sung by peasants while reaping their crops. It is believed that Blas Infante suggested the music to José del Castillo. The melody of the anthem is Castillo's original though. After the Spanish Civil War, the original music scores were destroyed, and only a manuscript for piano is conserved. The composer Manuel Castillo improved José del Castillo's version.
The lyrics of the anthem of Andalusia:
The white and green flag
again, after centuries of war,
to say peace and hope,
under the sun of our land.
Andaluces, arise!,
Ask tierra y libertad!,
Be free in Andalusia,
Spain and humanity.
The Andalusians want
return to what we were:
light men, than men,
We gave them soul men.
Andaluces, arise!,
Ask tierra y libertad!,
Be free in Andalusia,
Spain and humanity.

Día de Andalucía
El Día de Andalucía se celebra el 28 de febrero y conmemora el referendum del año 1980, que dio autonomía plena a la comunidad andaluza.
En muchos pueblos y ciudades se decoran los balcones, donde se cuelga la bandera de Andalucía de las rejas de esta, y se celebran concursos de patios andaluces, entre otros
En los colegios, aunque la semana del 28 de febrero es festiva, conocida como Semana Cultural o bien Semana Blanca, el viernes de la semana anterior suele ser un día festivo en el colegio, y toman el desayuno andaluz, y colorean dibujos referentes a los símbolos de Andalucía, su historia y sus costumbres, representan obras de teatro costumbristas y cantan el Himno de Andalucía. De las costumbres mencionadas antes, el desayuno andaluz normalmente está compuesto por pan con aceite(a veces también con tomate).
El himno de Andalucía es:
La bandera blanca y verde,
vuelve tras siglos de guerra.
A decir Paz y Esperanza,
bajo el sol de nuestra tierra.
¡Andaluces, levantáos!
¡Pedid tierra y libertad!
Sea por Andalucia libre,
España y la Humanidad.
Los andaluces queremos
volver a ser lo que fuimos.
Hombres de luz que a los hombres,
Alma de hombres les dimos.
¡Andaluces, levantáos!
¡Pedid tierra y libertad!
Sea por Andalucia libre,
España y la Humanidad.
