About
Shopkeepers in neighborhoods all over Barcelona turn their streets into trick-or-treat routes for Halloween and the Castanyada. Kids in costume go from shop to shop, look for the sign in the window, and ask for candy. The map shows every route found, each with its time. Some still show last year's times, since most shop associations post theirs in mid-October.
