Did you know?

- The word semana is a direct descendant of the Latin word for 'seventh', because the week was traditionally viewed as a cycle of seven days.
- In many Spanish-speaking cultures, the concept of a week includes Sunday as the first day, which can change how one counts 'all the days' in a calendar context.
