    Day of the Virgin in Spain

    Yesterday, 15th of August, there was a holiday in most Spanish villages of Spain. One of the places cites where we that celebrates a big party in a big way is in Madrid. The 15th of August is the Virgin Day. This Virgin in Madrid is "La Paloma" (dove). In these days During the holiday, the people of Madrid dresses up and fills its the streets with "verbenas" in the old part of the city "La Latina". "Verbena" is a kind of typical festival which you is only could know found here. During these days the city becomes in (reverts to in place of becomes in) the small village that (it once) was and forgets (this is a good use of the word forgets) the cosmopolitan city of nowadays today.

    There is an old saying that says: "from Madrid to the sky". Visit us and you will know why. (and you will find out why)

     

    I think a few things could have been made clearer. Was it a holiday throughout Spain that was only celebrated in some cities? Does the Madrid celebration only happen in the old part of the city? Does each city have a different virgen that they celebrate?


    The translation of the saying doesn't sound right. I would include the original Spanish version as well. Over all, well done.

    yes, spaghetti is a special type of noodle, but it is so common that it is frequently used as a generic term for pasta or noodles.
