OCTOBER 12th is CULTURAL DAY IN COSTA RICA: On this day, Costa Ricans commemorates the ethnic diversity of the country. The existence of North America was ignored (by Europeans) for a long time, but an expedition undertaken by Columbus allowed its "discovery", conquest and colonization by Europeans. The discovery was made on October 12, 1492. The native inhabitants of this continent were called "Indians." While they explored the coasts, rivers, and land, they realized that it was actually a New World. October 12th celebrates the day Columbus discovered America and attributing glory to Spain. In addition, 1492 is an important date because it is the year the Spanish expelled the Arabs from their land.
