Cultural Practices And Customs Questions
The Day of the Dead celebration, also known as Dia de los Muertos, is not traditionally celebrated in Spain. It is primarily observed in Mexico and some other Latin American countries. In Spain, the closest equivalent celebration is All Saints' Day, which is a national holiday on November 1st. On this day, Spaniards honor and remember their deceased loved ones by visiting cemeteries, cleaning and decorating graves, and attending religious services. While the Day of the Dead is not significant in Spain, All Saints' Day holds cultural and religious importance as a time to pay respects to the departed.
