Hi! We are Maria, Yunaida and Sara, and now we presented our project about the “Castanyada”.
This is a popular
party of Catalunya that is celebrated for All Saints. It consists of a meal
that is eaten: Chesnuts, potatoes, condred fruit… The typical drink is
“moscatell”, which is variety of while vine. In the English-speaking countries,
the “Castanyada” is the same as Halloween, and the children are disguised with
scary costumes and they ring the bell in all the houses to get candies. In
Catalunya, in the streets, there are the “Castanyeres” and they sell chestnuts…
The “Catanyera” is an old woman that wears poor clothes, a winter coat and a
headscarf.
There’s a story that
tells that the “Castanyada” started at the end of 18th century.
In our high school,
“IES Sant Andreu”, we celebrate, also, the “Castanyada” and we do sport
activities, workshops to make “panellets”, workshops to make-up, and others
are: a workshop is dancing “Sardanes” that is the typical folk dance of
Catalunya, also we drawing comics, playing
and a workshop that is a horror tunnel.
