About
Every autumn the Castanyera comes down from the mountain to roast chestnuts in the city square. This year the kids only want Halloween costumes and candy, so she decides it's time to reinvent herself, and not every idea goes to plan. It's a gentle way into the two traditions that share October 31. Costumed characters, including a pumpkin-headed Jack, help kids still learning Catalan follow along.
