Autumn, Halloween and Chestnut Festival

Unlike in the rest of Europe, visiting cemeteries is not a typical tourist activity in the regions of Barcelona. That’s a shame, because Catalan cemeteries are home to some incredible tombs, family vaults and mausoleums. You’re not convinced? Just plan a morning visit - you’ll be surprised by the rich artistic, historical, cultural and social heritage of these authentic open-air museums.

Halloween is just around the corner and it’s a great occasion to tell stories that make our hair stand on end. We want to give it our own special touch, so we’ve sought out the best legends about witchcraft in the regions of Barcelona. What’s more, you’ll see that they can also be turned into family outings. A hiking trail is more enjoyable if you’re familiar with the mythology behind it.
