Rosemary, do you know whether or not there is a mother´s day similar to the ones that we have in the UK and the US? I´m just interested.

As Lyn has said it is in May. When we moved here we misunderstood the Dec celebration and thought that it was their Mother´s Day celebration so decided that I should celebrate the English one in March/April and the Spanish one in Dec then discovered that it is actually in May so last year I had three mother´s days, not greedy at all.

No I still get three. My kids do the UK one and OH does the other two, usually a nice meal and of course Cava.
