In the red corner, the undisputed champion of autumnal holidays in Catalonia, it’s La Castanyada. And in the blue corner, the challenger. It’s got costumes, it’s got candy, it’s Halloween. Which should be celebrated on October 31 in Catalonia? The debate is on. The coronavirus pandemic means this year's festivities won't be anything like normal, but what does the future hold for these two holidays? Lorcan Doherty, Cristina Tomàs White and Alan Ruiz Terol pull no punches as they look at whether Castanyada and Halloween can happily co-exist, or if one of them is doomed to disappear.
