Thousands of people began heading to cemeteries across the region yesterday to mark All Saints Day and to  honour and commemorate the dead.

Palma.—All Saints Day is officially today, 1 November, but some people, in a bid to avoid the rush, visited the cemeteries yesterday while others will wait until Sunday.
The small business association PIMEM’s Association of Florists and Gardeners reported this week that this year, an average of 18 euros per person is expected to be spent on flowers.
Association President, Manela Campos, said that they are expecting sales to be the same as last year with people spending between 12 and 35 euros. Their busiest day is going to be today and apart from opening much earlier than usual, the florists are going to be open constantly throughout the day, today and tomorrow.
