On the night of October 31^st , many countries such as Canada, United States, Ireland or United Kingdom celebrate the traditional and famous Halloween party, also known as Witches night, where children and adults walk through the streets with their best costumes looking for sweets.

In Barcelona, La Castanyada is celebrated that day, a popular catalan festivity which consists in meeting and eating roasted chestnuts, panellets and sweet potatoes. All this food is served with sweet wine called Moscatell. During several days, stalls are in  situated around the city, like on Las Ramblas, where these delicious fruits are available to everyone who wants to taste them.
