Castanyada or Halloween: why not both?
The Castanyada is the Catalan celebration on the night of 31 October: roast chestnuts, sweet potatoes, panellets (little almond sweets) and a glass of muscat. Halloween arrived later, with costumes and trick or treat. Many groups do both: a Castanyada dinner and then a costume party.
