In Tíjola, Halloween night has a name of its own, and it is already in its seventh edition. The 7th Noche en Negro (Night in Black) will fill the town’s squares with scares, music and fancy dress on Saturday 31 October from 17:30, with a haunted walk-through in the town hall’s underground car park and a concert by the band Bajo Cero as the highlights.
It is organised by Tíjola Town Council, with the support of Almería Provincial Council and local shops, according to the official poster featured on Turismo Almanzora.

Competitions with prizes
- Fancy dress, in children’s, youth and adult categories: €25 vouchers for individuals or pairs and €100 vouchers for groups, with three prizes in the children’s category, two in the youth category and one in the adult category.
- Make-up: a €50 voucher for the most elaborate.
- Crafts: three €30 vouchers. Entries are handed in from 17:30 to 20:00 at the stand in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento and will be on display there all night.
- Shop windows or interiors: three €50 vouchers; shops must register with the town council before 15:00 on Friday 30.
For fancy dress, make-up and crafts, registration takes place on the Saturday itself, from 17:30 to 20:00, at the ticket booth next to the photo backdrop. The vouchers can be redeemed at participating shops, up to a maximum of €50 per establishment.
How to get into the walk-through for free
Entry to the Pasaje del Terror costs €5, but it is free with the shopping trail card (rutero comercial): all you have to do is make three purchases of at least €5 at participating shops and hand in the stamped card at the ticket booth. The same card gives you a chance at the two prizes in the draw: a night at the Hotel Boutique Manantial de Cela and a voucher for two people at the Baños Árabes Hammam Almeraya.
After all, the Noche en Negro is also a way of keeping spending in the town: twelve Tíjola shops are taking part, from the haberdashers to the cake shop or the butcher’s.
From elValle Actualidad, we’re giving you plenty of notice: start getting your costume ready, because on 31 October, in Tíjola, scares are guaranteed.
