October is ending\u2026 and Halloween is approaching!<\/span><\/h1>\n

One of our favorite dates is approaching: because its uniqueness, for celebrating something different, because we love dressing up\u2026 and although Halloween is not as big here as it is in other countries, it\u2019s also celebrated alongside other local traditions that we love.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sitges is a town that has been a home now for many years for families from all over the world, who were fascinated by its charm and decided to stay and build a life here. As a result we have a spectacular variety of cultures, and this is noticeable, for example, when celebrating foreign festivities such as Halloween.<\/span><\/p>\n

For these dates we have always had different parties and workshops, especially the night of the 31st (since it\u2019s when Halloween is celebrated and the also the next day is a national holiday).<\/span><\/p>\n

The best thing is that Halloween is not the main thing, in Catalonia we have a tradition called \u201cLa casta\u00f1ada\u201d or \u201cLa castanyera\u201d in Catalan, which is maintained throughout October and November. Traditionally they eat chestnuts made over fire (in autumn you will always find several stalls on the street) and \u201cpanellets\u201d, typical Catalan sweets that are amazingly good. There are all kinds of them, but the traditional ones are made from a sugary almond dough and covered in pine nuts. They are really good, and you will find them homemade and of quality in any local bakery.<\/span><\/p>\n
