Halloween the Portuguese way: Pão por Deus, the goat and the canhoto — how Portugal celebrates the «Day of the Witches»
Besides the borrowed Halloween, which arrived in Portugal in the 1990s, the country preserves its own early-November traditions: the «Pão por Deus» house-to-house visits on the morning of November 1, the bonfire festival Festa da Cabra e do Canhoto in Cidões, and the «Night of the Torches» in Vilar de Perdizes. Euronews explains how Celtic roots and local customs coexist with the global holiday.
