Last Saturday the 27th of October, a terrifying team from the Casa de Campo community hosted a horrifying Halloween party at the Casa de Campo Yacht Club, sponsored by La Enoteca (Vinos S.A).
An annual tradition and one of the most popular parties in the Casa de Campo social calendar, this group of Casa de Campo friends; Patricia Proaño, Ivonna Sosa, Tato Caceres, Amelia Pereya and Gricelle Lahoz, set out every year to create the most gruesome and ghastly party possible – and it just keeps getting better and better! Congratulations!

Halloween at the Yacht Club – by Ivonna and Patty
Early on Saturday, the enthusiastic halloween party planners; Miguel, Amelia, Gricelle, Patricia, Ivonna and Tato arrived at the Casa de Campo Yacht Club in the Marina Casa de Campo laden down with spooky fabrics, ghosts, skeletons, skulls, spiders – lots of spiders, gravestones, a casket, lanterns… and much more – ready to transform the Casa de Campo Yacht Club into a horrifying haunted house!The Haunted House
By the time the ghastly and ghostly guests made their entrance, the terrifying transformation was complete – and they were greeted by a scary scene, completed with lights and smoke…which soon welcomed the living and the dead to join the celebration!
La Enoteca (Vinos S.A) from the Marina Casa de Campo sponsored the celebration with their renowned Glenmorangie whisky and Belvedere vodka, as well as Distribuidor Lahoz, who contributed the mixers and El Catador with their prosecco Maschio.
