More Than Half A Million Madrilenians Visit Cemeteries For All Saints' Day

MADRID, SPAIN - NOVEMBER 01: A woman in front of a tombstone at the San Isidro cemetery, on November 1, 2023, in Madrid, Spain. More than half a million people are visiting Madrid's cemeteries these days to remember their loved ones on the occasion of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, which are celebrated today and tomorrow, November 2, respectively. This year, as the holiday falls in the middle of the week and there is no long weekend, more visitors are expected than in previous years, also marked by the pandemic. The most populated cemetery in Madrid is that of La Almudena, which has 120 hectares, and where thousands of visitors are expected. (Photo By Juan Barbosa/Europa Press via Getty Images)
