‘Castaloween’: A traditional Catalan chestnut holiday ‘coexists’ with Halloween

4 CQ

La Castanyada, or “chestnut feast," is a centuries-old Catalan tradition celebrated on Oct. 31. But for the past two decades — thanks in part to the increasing influence of American cinema and TV — stores have stopped decorating with chestnuts and instead turn to skulls, pumpkins and witches.

    This is an audio feed from the podcast from yesterday. It's extremely strange how often this happens. Does anyone check these things?
