This morning, at about 8, our doorbell rang. When I opened the door, there was a tiny basket, filled with popcorn and candy, sitting on the front step.

Through the morning, five more baskets arrived, all sitting alone on the porch after a neighbor child rang the doorbell and then ran away to hide.

I didn't know this "May Basket" tradition until today (we just moved here last year)--apparently, if you catch the person who is leaving the basket, you get to kiss them.

Cute!

Are there May Day festivities in Spain?

taravb, I've moved this thread to this, the "About Spain" category, plus since it was posted late last night, Saturdy, it would probably go overlooked over the weekend (since it wouldn't show up on the "Daily Active Threads" list and lower weekend traffic, and surely by Monday would become "buried".

Hopefully now you'll get some response. Saludos, MadridMan
