Columbus Day is the name given in most Latin American countries parties Oct. 12 to commemorate the landfall for the sailor Rodrigo de Triana in 1492, after having sailed for more than two months under the command of Christopher Columbus what would later be called America.
The name was created by former Spanish Minister Faustino Rodríguez-San Pedro, as President of the Ibero-American Union, who in 1913 thought of a celebration that would unite Spain and Latin America, choosing to do so on 12 October.
