🎃 Halloween originates from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the end of summer and beginning of winter, believed to be a time when the spirits of the dead could return. It merged with All Saints' Day due to Christianity, becoming All Hallows' Eve, later Halloween. In Spain, the celebration's popularity has surged, adopted enthusiastically by the youth influenced by Anglo-Saxon culture through movies and TV. Travel agencies cater to the trend, with Ávoris highlighting themed parks like PortAventura World, Parque Warner, and Parque de Atracciones de Madrid, which decorate and offer special events. Viajes El Corte Inglés (VECI) also focuses on themed parks, with Parque Warner transformed from October 2 to November 3, and collaborates with PortAventura World for Halloween from September 21 to November 10. Additionally, VECI offers thematic itineraries and excursions to culturally rich destinations. W2M emphasizes short trips, launching 73 hotel offers in Andalusia, Levante, Catalonia, Canaries, Balearic Islands, Andorra, Portugal, and urban getaways, with a campaign starting on October 22.
