This Monday, November 1, is celebrated, as every year, All Saints’ Day. A special date on the calendar for many people because they can honor their loved ones who have passed away. Throughout this journey, cemeteries are flooded with people who take advantage of this holiday to visit and decorate the graves of their family and friends with flowers.
In 2020, the coronavirus pandemic prompted many communities to impose restrictions or perimeter closures that prevented citizens from visiting some cemeteries. However, this year, the situation is more favorable to celebrate this day and the cemeteries are expected to fill up. Thus, We tell you the hours of the main cemeteries in Spain.
