The pagan version of Halloween was called Samhain for the Celts living in the Iberian peninsula. Our traditions during these dates are numerous and rich!

It's"panellets" time!

This traditional pastries are eaten in these dates, close to Halloween 🎃 or , for us, the "castanyada" or "tots Sants" celebrations.

Made with almond flour, sweet potato, sugar, and nuts on the outside (usually pine nuts or almonds), they are super funny to make at home!

FELIÇ CASTANYADA!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

One of our most interesting Christmas traditions is "Caga-tió".  

"Caga-tió" (meaning literally Uncle Crapper) is represented by a piece of wood (normally a tree log), with a face painted on it and wearing the traditional catalan hat, the "barretina". This character is placed into the houses and schools, and needs to be "fed" properly with fruits and sweets some weeks before Christmas. On Christmas Day, all the kids of the family or the school will reunite to perform the tradition: they sing a song to the Caga-tió, who is covered with a blanket, while they hit it with a stick. Then the figure will magically "poo" presents to the kids. The log providing presents is a pagan symbol of nature providing human beings with everything they need to survive.
