It is celebrated on the eve of All Saints&#8217; Eve, the night of October 31 to November 1. Today it is typical to <strong>gather with family and friends to eat <em>panellets <\/em>(<\/strong>traditional sweets<strong>)<\/strong>, <strong>sweet potatoes<\/strong> and other seasonal fruits such as <strong>chestnuts<\/strong>, hence its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years this tradition has changed and is not celebrated in the same way as in its beginnings, let&#8217;s see the <strong>origin of the Castanyada.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Origins of &#8220;la castanyada&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All Saints&#8217; Day<\/strong> is a feast of pagan origin that dates back to the end of the 18th century. It was a widespread celebration throughout Europe in which <strong>the dead were remembered and worshipped. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This ritual began the night before<\/strong>, when friends and family g<strong>athered to dine, pray and pay homage to the deceased<\/strong>. <strong>Typical autumn products<\/strong> such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, mushrooms, candied fruit or chestnuts were eaten and sweets such as the famous <strong><em>panellets<\/em><\/strong>, in <strong>Catalonia<\/strong>, were prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Chestnuts and&nbsp;<em>Panellets<\/em>, food and symbols of the Castanyada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>These typical sweets are eaten during the night of the Castanyada<\/strong> and during the previous days. It is believed that this food is an evolution of the blessed bread. It was <strong>an offering to the deceased<\/strong> that was deposited in their graves <strong>to accompany them on their journey to the afterlife<\/strong>, for that reason they are made with seasonal products that are preserved for days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are&nbsp;<em>panellets&nbsp;<\/em>and where to eat them?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Panellets<\/em><\/strong> are made with a <strong>base of potato or sweet potato, chopped almonds, sugar and egg<\/strong>.
