Feliz Dia de la Madre! Today is Mothers Day in Spain.
Did you know that both Mothers Day and Fathers Day in Spain are public holidays? Dia de Madre is always celebrated on the first Sunday in May.
Mothers Day in Spain is celebrated in pretty much the same way that the rest of the world celebrates this day. There are flowers, chocolates and presents given, celebrations with family and friends. The schools also encourage the children to make handmade gifts and cards for this special day too.
Feliz Dia de la Madre to the Mothers, wherever you are. We dedicate this post, to our very own Duchess of Cambridge and her beautiful new princess.

The temperature is rising too with highs of 27 degrees expected, another beautiful sunny Saturday for our friends in the sun. Dreaming of Madrid yet? We certainly are….
