Popular traditions La Castañada is celebrated on the night of October 31 and November 1, the festival of All Saints Day, the Day of the Dead, bringing together friends and family around the table in lively celebrations that last well into the night. According to tradition, chestnuts (castañas) and panellets are eaten on All Saints Day. Seasonal chestnuts have been a part of these celebrations since the 18th century and today it is more common to buy roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes in street stalls scattered throughout the city. Sharing the bill with roasted chestnuts are delicious panellets, made from a marzipan base to which is added pine nuts, coconut, chocolate, candied fruits, etc. They most likely originated as offerings that were made to the dead so that they would not lack food on their journey to the afterlife. Both items, washed down with sweet wine, abound during this most traditional of celebrations. La Castañada today shares the spotlight with the Anglo-Saxon tradition of Halloween, combining to make a mix of chestnuts, panellets and monstrous disguises. Until November 19, PortAventura World (only one hour from Barcelona) features special Halloween programming, including theme menus, monster parade and shows. And Barcelona s Aquarium is offering fun and entertaining family activities, including a Halloween game (until Nov. 5) and monstrous makeup (Nov. 1, 4 and 5).Two popular Barcelona neighbourhoods are also celebrating their traditional patron saint festival this month with entertaining cultural activities: the neighbourhood of La Sagrera from Nov. 16 to 26 and Sant Andreu from Nov. 30 to Dec. 10. Both will undoubtedly include such staples of traditional Catalan culture as giants, trabucaires (blunderbuss bandits), dances and devils, as well as a spectacular correfoc (fire run) organised by traditional colles de diables (groups of devils). visitbarcelona.com/agenda Check out all the latest news at: visitbarcelona.com 21
