Feliz Da de San

Valentn!

El da de San Valentn in
Spanish Speaking Countries

In most of South America, Valentines Day is

known as El da del amor y la amistad, or
Love and Friendship Day. This special day is not
just for lovers! Many groups of friends exchange
Valentines cards and gifts and later go out for
dinner, all in the name of friendship.

In Spain, Valentines Day is celebrated in much

the same way as in the U.S. and the U.K. But
many people also celebrate El da del libro y la
rosa on April 23 in which men give their special
lady a rose and she gives him a book in return.

In 2009 in Venezuela, Valentines Day eas canceled! Or,

rather, postponed until the 16th where it will be
celebrated for a whole week. Hugo Chavez thought with
such a big voter referendum coming up on February 15,
that Valentines Day may be too distracting, so he just
moved the celebration to the day after.

Colombia celebrates Valentines Day on September 20

where it is very popular to send gifts from secret
admirers.

Bolivia also favors September for its day of love,

celebrating el da del amor on September 21 in
conjunction with Students Day, Day of Spring, and
Childrens Day. It is common to give cards, flowers,
chocolates, and teddy bears to friends, family, and loves.
