0 Comments

 
The onset of winter in Spain during the last quarter of the year does not necessarily mean that fiestas Spain end during the month of November. A number of regional and national cultural fiestas and celebrations take place around Spain throughout the month of November alongside festivals that attract fans of film, music, and a myriad of forms of entertainment. It does not matter whether you would like to spend your time at a community celebration or just be inside a concert hall or theatre. One thing that is for sure is that there is plenty for you to do during the month of November in Spain. Here is a look at some of the main festivals and fiestas that you can take part in here in Spain for the month of November.

The Roman Catholic All Saints’ Day celebrated on November 1 is a major national holiday in Spain today. It serves as the best time for you to reflect on your life and remember your family and friends who have passed on. Those Spaniards who celebrate this day often attend masses at the local cemeteries where they give offerings to the dead such as flowers. Once the sombre mood is over, the atmosphere turns rather upbeat as people celebrate the good memories of the dead with traditional foods. This national festival is a time for remembering the dead, and is apt for the time of year. It is autumn and when nature dies little by little and prepares for winter.

There are many traditions connected with this time of year including gastronomic ones which brings us to the festival of the La Castañeda. In times gone by “la castañada” was celebrated after the family evening meal, the dinner would include roasting chestnuts and other goodies in an open hearth which where part of the ancient funeral meals. Nowadays the first Castaneros (roasted chestnut sellers) can be found on many street corners as the weather shows the first signs of the cold with winter ahead.

Secondly, Spain also becomes a major hotspot for Jazz during the month of November. The major cities of Barcelona and Madrid host major festivals that last all through the month of November every other year. The Barcelona Jazz Festival organizes concerts all throughout the month. Alongside Jazz, this festival also attracts world music, soul, rock, and fusion artists who come to grace different fiestas Spain has during this month.

Wine is part of the daily life for many people in Spain today and as such, many festivals in Spain dedicate festivals to celebrate local wine production Wine production is usually celebrated during the second week of the month of November. Visitors therefore have the opportunity to sample many of the countries best known wines alongside a range of local foods while enjoying performances and other festivities during November. Apart from food and wine, the locals can also be heard making a a lot of noise using contraptions made from old pots, pans, and cans. You can experience real Spain by learning Spanish at VLLC.
