I'm not sure why it matters whether this tradition is well known or not. It's a tradition that happens every year, and can be traced back to the Middle Ages, so what exactly are you trying to accomplish with your comments?
It's almost that time of year again when the ghosts and ghouls come out to play! Halloween in Gran Canaria is picking up interest as the years go on and there is always something to do in the various resorts.
Holiday World in Maspalomas is holding their annual Halloween party over 2 weekends 28th-29th October and again 4th-5th November. This year's theme is The Mystery of Scooby Doo. It all starts at 18:00hrs with Kids Halloween activities, shows and Horror Costume Contest! Most resorts will have something going on for Halloween, so get your costumes ready and prepare to be spooked!
It sounds like Spain is joining in on the evil anglosaxon fun after all Nestor! And Gran Canaria seems to be the place to go around Halloween. Sorry to burst your xenophobic bubble!
Look up mummers and you'll find out what's happening in your own country every year. It's probably a tradition that stays in its native Cheshire but still, ignorance is no excuse!
