The celebration fills streets, homes and shops with costumes, decorations and carved pumpkins. Many families also take part in themed parties, horror attractions, parades and the traditional trick-or-treat custom.
Halloween’s roots are linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the start of winter. Its modern form developed over time and became especially popular in the United States before spreading widely elsewhere.
In Spain, Halloween now sits alongside the traditional observance of All Saints’ Day on November 1. Schools, associations, businesses and local authorities often organise activities, while families combine the festive atmosphere with the more reflective customs of these dates.
