The Castanyada

“Castanyada” is a traditional celebration of Catalonia. It’s celebrated the 1st of November. In this traditional day, the girl and boys wear costumes and all the people eat chestnuts and “panellets”. “Panellets” are a special food, are like a little cookies very sweet, this day also, the families meet and eat all together. The students sell chestnuts to win money, normally for the school trip. Chestnuts are dried fruits and are very typical in France, chestnuts are delicious. Also the negative of ”Castanyada” is that chestnuts are more expensive because all the people buy them.
