Traditions around Spain"},"content":{"rendered":"

Halloween has become a good excuse to get dressed up, go to parties and, for the youngest, go around doing trick or treat, but how is this day traditionally celebrated in Spain?
\nThis festivity lasts for 3 days and is better known in Spain as D\u00eda\u00a0<\/em>de todos los Santos<\/em> on November 1st and D\u00eda de los Difuntos<\/em> on November 2nd. It commemorates all the Saints and those who passed away and the most common tradition is to bring flowers to our beloveds\u2019 graves, but each part of Spain has its own tradition!
\nHalloween in Barcelona and Catalonia<\/em>
\nIf you visit this region of Spain, you cannot miss the ancient tradition of the Castanyada<\/em> held on October 31st. Everywhere in the city you will find roasted castanyes (chestnuts) ready to buy and eat on the go!
\nIn our school in Barcelona <\/a>we celebrate this tradition as well by cooking chestnuts for you in our courtyard!<\/p>\n
