In Spain Halloween is only celebrated by little kids and on a much smaller scale. Halloween here is basically just an excuse for clubs or bars to get large crowds of people to come. There aren't decorations outside of the houses, trick-or-treating, or carving pumpkins. In fact, most pumpkins here are long and narrow so finding a "normal" shaped pumpkin to carve was difficult. However, my host family decided to get into the spirit of Halloween with me and we decorated the house―inside and out―and carved pumpkins and cooked the seeds. The carved pumpkins turned out great having it be their first time ever doing this and the seeds, well, they're very large and thick here so they didn't turn out like they do at home. Nonetheless, it was a successful Halloween away from home :)
