Best Holiday ever
My favorite holiday at this point in my life is September 18. Not because I consider myself a patriot or something like that, because in Chile they usually celebrate more days compared to Christmas or New Year,also the 18th is something more informal.
The last few years, I have celebrated the 18th at my boyfriend Gustavo's house, he lives in Concepción. The city is surrounded by forests and close to the sea, which gives it a nice landscape to relax.
Strictly speaking, the 18th lasts 2 days, but by custom or "tradition" it is extended a couple of days, adding an extra holiday to the calendar in case it falls on a weekend. For the 18th, it is customary to dance the traditional Chilean dance "la cumbia", sorry, "la cueca" in its different types according to the geographical area of the country, in addition to playing different things such as the emboque, the oiled stick, sack race , etc. And the most important thing is to drink either chicha, wine, terremotos, piscola, tropical, etc.
For me the best thing on these dates is the food, the empanadas, anticuchos, choripanes, roasts, lamb on a stick, mote con huesillo, alfajores, it made me hungry.

Hi Alejandro, I agree that the long vacations and the food of the fiestas patrias are super cool.
