National public holidays include Navidad (25 December), Reyes (6 January), the Día de los Trabajadores (1 May), the Día de la Hispanidad/del Pilar (12 October) and the Día de la Constitución (6 December). Additionally, each autonomous region and town has at its discretion a small number of public holidays that usually coincide with local traditions like a patron saint's day or other celebrations such as Carnaval. Thus there is a holiday in Madrid for San Isidro, the city's patron saint, and one in Catalonia for Sant Jordi, who is the patron saint of the region.* * *1) ( celebración) partydieron una gran fiesta — they threw o had a big party

••• Cultural note:A fiesta in Spain can be a day of neighborhood celebrations, a larger event for a town or city, or a national holiday, to commemorate a saint's day or some historical event.

Other famous Spanish holidays include the Fallas in Valencia, the Sanfermines in July in Pamplona, and the Feria de Sevilla, two weeks after Easter. They can last for a week or more, during which everyday life is often interrupted. Classes in schools may stop and banks, stores, and post offices alter their opening hours.

This is largely because of the importance of such celebrations in the Spanish-speaking world. Every town or village, of whatever size, has its day (if not week) of annual celebrations. These may be associated with the local patron saint or with some historical event, such as Independence Day. On these days people may dress up in traditional clothes, take part in traditional dances and eat special dishes associated with the festival. There may be firework displays and street processions of a more or less religious nature, and, as the saying goes, a good time is generally had by all.* * *f1 festival;estar de fiesta be in a party mood;no estar para fiestas be in no mood for jokes;¡se acabó la fiesta! the party’s over!hacer fiesta have a day off* * *fiesta nf1) : party, fiesta2) : holiday, feast day* * *fiesta n2.

4 как с гуся вода
(кому, с кого)разг.1) ( кому) (нипочём, безразлично, никак не действует на кого-либо, не производит никакого впечатления на кого-либо) it's all one (all the same) to him; he is impervious to everything; cf. < it's> like water off a duck's back; he doesn't care two straws about anything; he gets away scot free; it's nothing to him- Другие миллионы крадут, и всё им как с гуся вода, а ворона украдёт копейку - ей за это смерть. (М. Салтыков-Щедрин, Ворон-челобитчик) — 'Others steal millions and get away scot free, but if a crow steals a kopeck, it's death.'
Катя всё чаще спотыкалась, сдержанно вздыхала. А Мишке хоть бы что, как с гуся вода, - шёл бы и шёл с винтовкой за плечами тысячу вёрст. (А. Толстой, Хождение по мукам) — Katya stumbled more and more frequently, and could not always suppress a sigh. But Mishka was impervious to everything - it seemed as if he could have marched on for thousands of miles, his rifle at his back.
2) ( с кого) (легко, быстро, бесследно исчезает, забывается кем-либо) < it's> like water off a duck's back; cares sit lightly upon him (her); it disappears without < leaving> a traceОн позволял себе от времени до времени гульнуть, потешиться денёк-другой, завернув куда-нибудь в сторонку, но хмель и буйство скоро слетали с него, как с гуся вода, и с новой бодростию являлся он к своему делу. (С. Аксаков, Семейная хроника) — From time to time... he would break out, and spend a couple of riotous days in some little town; but he could throw off the effects of his drunkenness as easily as a goose shakes water off her feathers, and after such an interlude would only return with renewed zest to his interrupted labours.
- Что я в ту пору трудов приняла, чтоб его на службу-то втереть! - и всё как с гуся вода! (М. Салтыков-Щедрин, Господа Головлёвы) — 'What trouble I had to get him taken into Civil Service - and it's all like water off a duck's back!'
У Ефросиньи было удивительное качество: для неё все беды и неприятности были "трын-трава" и стекали с неё, как с гуся вода. (Г. Николаева, Жатва) — Yefrosinya possessed a peculiar trait of character - all the world's cares sat lightly upon her.
