The “pig slaughter” has been the most important winter celebration in Spanish villages for years. Family, friends and neighbours gather to kill the pig and fill the pantry for the rest of the year, and this becomes a great festive event. Manolo and Estrella invite family and friends to the “pig slaughter” at their place. Using the time to think about the past and the future of this celebration, they cook some blood sausages.
