Candelaria is more of the local tradition of the deceased than of Halloween. After 2 years, this celebration returned to the Plaza de Santa Ana on Monday night. An activity that aims to value Canarian traditions on October 31, the night of the deceased, in which families and friends gathered to remember to their deceased loved ones.

The organization began on Sunday with the preparation by a group of neighbors who prepared the 150 kilos of chestnuts that are the main ingredient of this celebration along with the music of the town’s parrandas, the gofio and the rosquetes. The event that has been consolidated over the years and that has the involvement of the Facebook groups Candelaria Forever and Candelaria Hoy, and the collaboration of the City Council. The Night of the Dead consists of placing offerings on the tombstones of loved ones, such as quintals of cereal, jugs of wine, live rams, baskets of bread, chestnuts or rosquetes that were used to defray the expenses of burials and masses of Souls.
