Answer 3

James, a quinceañera is simply a girl who is 15 years old. Not the celebration.

I thought you might mean "la puesta de largo" which is a celebration , here in Spain, I think, only celebrated in old fashioned communities, when a girl turns 15 and from that moment on can put on long dresses.

Look at this nice video.
