All Saints Day and Festivals!

One thing that I really like about living in Sevilla is all the reasons to celebrate. One of my professors even went as far as to mention that Spaniards celebrate for any reason. This leads to plenty of Bank holidays such as "Dia de Todos los Santos" and "Dia de la Constitution," but more importantly three day weekends!

These weekends usually have parades or festivals that last until late at night. These holidays range from different meanings whether they be spiritual or governmental. What I really love is the atmosphere. Spaniards really go all out for these holidays. They string up lights, play music, set up displays and much more! What may be even more exciting is that many American holidays/customs are becoming more common in Spain. I was actually really surprised to know that they love Halloween and even have a 1,000 zombie parade on this day!

All in all, Spaniards really know how to celebrate!
