Spain is a Perennial Favorite

Published by Travel Blogger under Uncategorized

Spain as a Catholic Country and it celebrates its All Saints Day on November 1 and All souls Day on the following day, November 2. Spain is a perennial favorite of the tourist for it offers so much sun, fun and festivities.

And here is another reason for the Spanish people to display its passion for celebration. With the Halloween party Spain would indeed flaunt their talents in displaying Halloween jack-o-lanterns, and crafting the scariest costume. Haunted attractions are indeed expected to be world-class. Lights and food and drinks for the adults would flow during the night. Everyone is already enjoying their lives on the beginning of October and last until the 2nd day of November.

Spain would again join the Roman Catholic or the Catholic in general in celebrating All Saints Day on the beginning of November. As it honor saints all over the world let it be known or unknown. And for the Roman Catholic it is the day to celebrate and remember those who have reached beatific vision in Gods Paradise- Heaven. Though the origin of this celebration is uncertain the Roman Catholic now celebrates All Saints Day.

Spain also celebrates the All Souls Day on the 2nd of November. It is celebrated to remember the departed love ones or relatives. This is a special day for the intercession of the souls who have not been in the beatific vision in heaven.

For these celebrations Spain would definitely be glowing with candles and people going to church. And as Spanish people get together… food and rinks are always involved. The famous Paella would then be served; tapas are not forgotten of course. Wine from the Basque region would indeed flow in the homes of these Spanish people.

Businesses would then prepare for the tourist who would then visit and witness Spanish Celebrations of All Souls Day and All Saints Day. Restaurants, hotels, hostels and transportation would indeed be very during these two days vacation.
