Talk:Castañada

Translation

I just translated this article from the article on the Catalan Wikipedia, but my Catalan is nowhere near perfect, so it could do with some checking. —Celestianpower ^háblame 17:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

La Castanyada is not a "festival". Festa popular in this case means traditional culture, but I don't know how to translate it to english 100%. --Catalaalatac (talk) 12:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

I believe that festival is a fairly close translation. Festival in English has a broad meaning, from large events involving millions of people, to small ones involving just a few. Another possibility would be to use 'tradition', i.e. 'The Castanyada is a Catalan tradition ...' where the following information would define the content of the tradition. I would still probably stick with 'festival' though. Djlloyd45 (talk) 07:26, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Mogosto, etc.

I'm not sure these ought to be included in this article, as - correct me if I'm wrong - they appear to be completely separate festivals, but just with similar themes. At the very least - if they are to stay - the article would need to be called something else ('Chestnut Festivals in the Iberian Peninsula' or something a bit more catchy perhaps...) What do people think? —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:19, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

The origin and the time of both festivals is practically the same. Nevertheless the name ethimology is more complicated in Galician, maybe a Celtic origin word. I think that they must be included in the same article, but the article name should be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.147.114.150 (talk) 21:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Magosto is only Galician

The Magosto is a holiday celebrated with samhain, it was to honor Bridgig (Brigida in Galician)--Bretema7 (talk) 01:18, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Magosto is Galician, Asturian and from Northern Portugal

The Magosto holiday is celebrated in Galicia, northern Portugal, Asturias and some provinces like Leon. Its much more relevant and popular than Castañada aswell. --Sage78 (User talk:Sage78) 15:13, 24 September 2017 (GMT)

Just read the article and it left me wondeirng when this is celebrated? Google says usually Nov 1st/All Saints Day? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeremytarling (talk • contribs) 17:06, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Pls change the name

The "magosto" means totally different things than "castanyada", they're totally different parties (they r not a party btw). Only eating chestnuts is similar. Pls make two pages. Garrote20 (talk) 20:25, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Magosto and Castañada/Castanyada are distinct traditions

As the title says - they are similar but different. Castanyada is more of a Catalan Countries thing (associated with All Saints Day), while Magosto is from the Iberian northwest, most popular in Galicia (associated with Samhain or Halloween). 95.18.76.205 (talk) 15:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
