Overview
- Asturias rolls out family and adults‑only programming across towns, with Gijón’s Jardín Botánico family session sold out and the 18+ “Calabazas y calaveras” event still offering tickets for Friday night.
- Local agendas in Oviedo, Avilés and surrounding areas include escape rooms, cemetery tours, parades and shop‑based trick‑or‑treat routes spanning October 30 to November 2.
- Extremadura bakeries lean into the season with themed pastries and in‑store activities, including Andrew’s Bakery’s trick‑or‑treat table on October 31 and Chef Alia’s Halloween desserts in Cáceres.
- Google marks the occasion with an interactive Halloween Doodle that invites users to engage with the celebration online.
- The October 31 date ties to All Hallows’ Eve and the festival’s roots in the Celtic Samhain, which later spread via Irish and Scottish immigration to the United States before becoming widely commercialized.
