All Saint´s Day

Here in Spain Halloween is not a holiday at all, althoug it is gaining popularity and we are sure in about 10 years it will be big (globalization consequence) Anyways the holiday here is November first, it is called All Saint´s Day. It is a day to remember loved ones that passed away and most people go to the cementery to put flowers in the tumbstones of relatives, friends... Usually today the amount of people going there makes it impossible to park and it is better if you go another day (although the custom is going today). So today November first we went to eat a typical meal in a village nearby. You can eat this kind of Gaspachos only in Alicante region. It is a pasta soup with chicken, although in the village where this dish was created they eat them with rabbit also. We went there today it is called Castalla. Our family friend MCarmen was visiting from England, we had a different day out, sharing memories of the relatives that passed away. She is a friend of my mom since they were very little.

Here they are: my aunt, my mom and her friend Mari Carmen. They are friends since they were todlers, isn`t it great to have friends from that time of our lives still??
