THE SPANISH CONSTITUTION 1812-2012.

MONDAY 19th MARCH 2012.


Today in Cadiz the King and Queen attended celebrations to mark 200 years since the Spanish Constitution was enacted by the Parliament of Spain dramatically in Cadiz on the 19th March 1812. Popularly known as “ La Pepa ” It is today here in Spain also ‘ San Jose ’ Day ie. ‘ Fathers Day ’ It is given a great historical importance because it is the first constitution promulgated in Spain in addition to being one of the most liberal of the time. The pictures above show the actual book that is on show in Cadiz at the moment and also the Monument built in 1912 in Cadiz to commemorate the centenary of the Constitution.

Thought for the Day;

“ Viva Espana ”
