Magusto“(…) essential Galician and Portuguese autumn pagan origin festival similar to the Gaelic Samhain (or “Samaín” word adapted to the Galician from the irish Gaelic). In addition to chestnuts and local young wine, various foods have been incorporated such as sausages and other products made from the pig slaughter, which occurs precisely at that time.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castanyada)Despite being an event that should take place in early November, close to Saint Martin’s day, any cold Autumn Sunday is a good candidate for a magusto, just as long as there’s chestnuts and wine.
