Catalonia’s Castanyada faces competition from imported Halloween celebrations

<p dir="ltr">If you&rsquo;ve ever been to Catalonia in the fall, you&rsquo;ll have noticed street vendors selling roasted chestnuts, with stands scattered about the streets of Barcelona as well as countless other cities and towns. This is because chestnuts, or &lsquo;castanyes&rsquo;, are eaten as part of&nbsp;<strong>La Castanyada</strong>, a holiday which falls on October 31, the same day as&nbsp;<strong>Halloween</strong>&nbsp;and the night before All Saints&rsquo; Day.&nbsp;</p> <p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> <div class="pos-author"> <p><span>&nbsp;</span></p> </div> / ACN
