Cemetery in Buenavista del Norte, Tenerife |
The month of November begins with a national public holiday on the 1st for Todos los Santos (All Saints), which, along with the 2nd (All Souls), are days when, traditionally, people visit cemeteries, clean up the graves and bring new flowers to their departed loved ones, with more flowers sold than on Valentine's Day. As every year, there are reports already bemoaning that the "price and scarcity of flowers mark the All Saints' Day campaign", this year blaming inflation.
This event is not without celebration, see Recipes for All Saints Day.
