• In our country this festival revolves around the same tradition of remembering the dead.

• It is not surprising that we remember the dead in Autumn, when nature dies little by little and prepares for winter.

• In the olden days, after the usual family supper chestnuts were roasted in the open hearth. “Panellets" (small, tasty almond cakes) and other sweet small cakes were eaten, and accompanied by a sweet, white wine. The chestnuts were roasted and placed on a table where everyone could eat as many as they wanted.

• This tradition was called “La castañada". It brings back memories of the ancient funeral meals.

To renew and remember this tradition, nowadays in many schools in Spain children are invited to taste the typical roasted chesnuts, almonds and sweet potatoes as well as the cakes made with these products. Sometimes, the teachers who deliver them are disguised as “villagers”.
