The Castanyada is a typical Catalan festival, celebrated in the All Saints’ Day. In schools, girls dress in “castanyera” women who sell chestnuts on the streets.

This afternoon we went for a walk in Lloret de Mar, a beach town about 80 km northeast of Barcelona. There, we met Bebert and Chantal, Virginie uncles, and his son and daughter, Dennis and Karine (by the way, it was the birthday of Dennis, who is also godfather to Virginie, beyond being her cousin). They came from France to spend a week in a hotel in Lloret.
The weather was great, clear skies and very warm, very different from the rains that fell during the week in Barcelona. Laïs loved walking along the beach, seeing the hotel swimming pool, and, curious as always, enjoyed every minute of the trip.
