Thousands of people have come to the cemeteries on the occasion of All Saints Day
They have extended the hours of the cemetery in Bilbao and strengthened bus services in San Sebastián and Vitoria-Gasteiz. In Pamplona this year, access to the cemetery in San José has not been closed.
Thousands of families have approached the cemeteries of the Basque Country this Saturday on the occasion of All Saints Day to commemorate the deceased relatives.
Even though the rain and temperatures of the last few hours have not helped, the cemeteries have been dressed as visitors and flowers as is tradition.
Due to the increased influx of visitors, some months, such as those in Bilbao , will have a longer schedule this November 1, and bus services have been strengthened in San Sebastian and Vitoria .
The CityCouncil of Pamplona has not closed access to the San José cemetery this year, unlike in previous years, nor has it issued an authorization card. Convectors can access the cemetery from Biurdana Street, from the roundabout of Orkoien Street, and, while the capacity allows, from Avenida de Navarra.
Bilbao City Council is also regulating traffic.
In recent years, customs have been changing, and cemeteries alone are no longer a place for the memory of the dead, because more and more people are spreading their ashes in different places, so that celebrations and commemorative events have become multiple.
