¿CÓMO SE DICE "DESFILE" EN INGLÉS?

After the 12th of October, I was speaking with lots of my students about the "desfile" that happened on that day. It is sometimes not very easy to find this type of vocabulary of the top of your head (de repente..sin pensar mucho).

So how do you say "desfile" in English? My original thought was that it would be a "procession", but that would be more associated with a religious event, for example, like the ones that occur in Spain during Easter (Semana Santa) - (No se dice: "Holy week).

After a while, I started to think that, in fact, a better translation is: "parade". So the correct sentence would be: "There was a military parade in Madrid".

Hope that helps!
