Toston

In Marbella there is an ancient custom, a day to go to the countryside with friends or family to take chestnuts and roast them. The roasted chestnuts are eaten accompanied by a glass of anisette or brandy.
It is a collective celebration that aims to recover the spirit of the Tostón, a Marbellan tradition that forms part of its cultural identity. There are many parallel activities such as traditional children’s games and games on bicycles. It is important to bring your own chestnuts, drinks and provisions. Young people usually camp out the day before to enjoy a festival with magical reminiscences that go back many centuries.
