    The Culture Day is based on tolerance, recognition of the ethnic diversity prevalent in the Spanish heritage of Latin America.

    The arrival of the Spaniards to the New World changed its meaning. This happened in 1994 when the Law of the “Culture Day” was promulgated.

    In this way, the traditional Race Day was obsolete and gave way to a new meaning. The same, based on tolerance, recognizes the ethnic diversity prevalent in America but does not deny the heritage of Spain, the legacy of the indigenous, and the African contribution, among other important contributions.
