Hi. Just to correct the Spanish word. It is actually " M A T A N Z A ". Nowadays is a word still used because it makes reference to the custom of the Spanish villeages of slaughtering the pigs at the begining of winter. "La matanza del cerdo" it was a popular family event in Castile, although somehow it has lost some popularity due to the enforcement of some animal protection and sanitary regulations.
