HALLOWEEN OR GACHAS?
Each year more people celebrate Halloween in Spain, but in some villages of Jaen, like Arquillos or Vilches we celebrate “las gachas”. It is a holiday in wich we make with flour and water the “gachas” and we put the mixture in the locks that night, because in the past, people thought that way the spirits could not go into people's homes. November 1st day people go to the cemetery to take flowers to their deceased relatives. Also, we celebrate these two days with our friends in a cottage. |
