World Spanish Language Day, also known as Día del Idioma Español, is celebrated on April 23rd. It coincides with the anniversary of the death of Miguel de Cervantes, the renowned Spanish author of "Don Quixote." The day was established by UNESCO in 2010 to celebrate the cultural significance and global influence of the Spanish language.
The observance aims to promote cultural understanding and encourage respect for the diversity of languages and cultures.
