It’s a Spanish custom to put on the play Don Juan Tenorio every year on October 31. If you’ve heard the phrase, “He’s such a Don Juan,” this is the character from which it originates. The actual Don Juan Tenorio is in a tomb in El Escorial, Spain. Knights were buried with their gloves off if they were killed in combat…to be buried with gloves on is a sign that it was a cowardly death…Don Juan was buried with his gloves on and multiple rings on each finger for all of the women that he had. The CentroCultural de España de Buenos Aires carries this tradition of hosting the play, and this year the ambassador of Spain and the Tourism Counselor of Spain had roles.
