QUITO`S FESTIVITIES

What did I learn in class?

I knew that Quito's festivities are a celebration commemorating the Spanish Foundation of the city of San Francisco de Quito, which was founded on December 6, 1534. This was done with the leadership of the Spanish conqueror "Sebastian Benalcázar" on the remains of the capital of the Inca Empire.

The Fiestas de Quito are made from the last week of November until the second week of December each year, between 1 and December 6, where the town is the setting for a great holiday, festivals and events that are held only in the Metropolitan District of Quito.

But in class I learn that there are many ways to celebrate Quito, from a simple game like "Cuarenta" traditional drinks like "Canelazo" and various activities such as the woody cars and the bullfights. One thing that caught my attention is that more people know how to celebrate this holiday, but they don`t know what they are celebrating.
