In this episode, I dive into the fascinating intersection of Halloween and Día de Todos los Santos in Spain. I explore the history of these celebrations, from their religious roots to modern controversies over American Halloween traditions making their way into Spanish culture. Along the way, we discuss quirky customs, including spooky plays, cemetery visits, and my personal experiences with Madrid's Halloween festivities.
