You may have seen by now in the local supermarkets, the sections dedicated to Halloween<\/strong>, a U.S holiday that has been adopted now worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This adoption in Inland M\u00e1laga only really began around 10 years ago and has been growing ever since, 2016 easily beating previous with regards to decorations and festivities. Never have I seen so many carved pumpkins and bags of themed sweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Spain however it\u2019s not the 31st<\/sup> that is traditionally celebrated, but the 1st<\/sup> of November. It’s a day known as D\u00eda de Todos los Santos<\/em><\/strong> (All Saints Day, in English).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Catholic public holiday is dedicated to honor those that have passed. People often visit the cemetery on this day to lay flowers, traditionally chrysanthemums, and pay respects. You will actually notice that the cemeteries leading up to and after this holiday are immaculately decorated with floral designs left by loved ones. This tradition is especially popular with the older generations, some even taking time before the 1st<\/sup> to go and clean the grave to prepare it beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for most public holidays in Spain, there are also traditional things that are eaten too! On this occasion the sweet treats prevail, the most popular being:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bu\u00f1elos de Viento<\/em> (Doughnut balls of the wind):<\/strong> Doughnut balls filled with fresh cream, cr\u00e8me patisserie or chocolate. This baked good was created during the reign of Felipe II towards the end of the 17th<\/sup> century when it was believed that eating one of these doughnut balls would save a soul from purgatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huesos de Santo<\/em> (Saint\u2019s Bones)<\/strong>: these are finger-like tubes of marzipan filled with a sweet egg yolk mixture. The name comes from the bone color they turn when baked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panellets<\/strong><\/em>: originally from Catalu\u00f1a, rounds treats are made of almonds, potato, sugar and pine nuts. It is suggested that these are enjoyed with a glass of sweet moscatel wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
