Costumes, terrifying moments and lots of fun… in motor home! Enjoying the Halloween party at one of the many campsites throughout the country that have opted for this celebration has become a highly demanded option for many motorhome drivers, as well as for those who want to have a first contact with this world. of the caravan. For this reason, we have prepared for you a selection of some of the camping establishments that celebrate Halloween in style.
Coming from the Anglo-Saxon world, the Halloween party has been spreading to different countries, including ours. the holiday has its roots in an ancient Celtic festival known as “Samhain”, which means "end of summer" in Gaelic languages and marked the end of the harvest season in Ireland, something that happened on October 31, beginning the Celtic New Year.
Some of the traditions that characterize the current Halloween also come from "Samhain", such as that of the costumes, since the Celts disguised themselves with animal skins to scare away evil spirits; or carving pumpkins which, although it began in Ireland in the XNUMXth century, comes from the Celtic custom of carving turnips and placing them with candles inside in windows to scare away evil spirits. How did they get to pumpkins? Well, for a very simple reason: when the Irish immigrated to North America, turnips were not as common as in Europe and they were not easily found, so they simply changed vegetables.
Now that we know better where this festivity comes from, we are going to know some of the campsites where you can celebrate Halloween in the funniest way.
