Indulge in the Spanish Traditions this Fall

You do not have to be a stern believer in myths or the authenticity of age-old traditional customs to enjoy this Spanish tradition because this year you need to feel the fun and excitement that goes into following the local Spanish traditions. Head to the Puerta del Sol Square in Madrid and be a part of the famed tradition of eating 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight. This is where huge flocks of crowd gathered in front of the clock tower and wait for the clock hands to make that much-awaited perfect alignment.

Each grape is be to eaten at every stroke of the clock as it strikes midnight, with each grape commemorating each of the 12 months of the following year. Tradition has it that eating grapes on New Year’s Eve will bring much prosperity for the upcoming year’s twelve months.

Following this, the Puerta del Sol Square will then burst into a huge celebratory joy and enthusiasm amongst thousands of participants gathered at the Square, with bottles of cava or cider being opened and bursts of laughter ringing in the air. Calls of “¡Feliz Año Nuevo!” are then heard as the crowds begin to hug and kiss each other and wishing everyone the very best for the upcoming year.

The night then follows with endless celebrations, jubilant crowds having a time of their life to welcome the New Year and wishing farewell to the one that passed by. Places like Pamplona, Coín (in Malaga), and Nájera (in La Rioja) also celebrate this happening night of all nights, dressing up in colourful and dazzling costumes as a way to welcome the New Year.

The Plaza Mezquita in Arroyo de la Miel is another one of the popular places to head out to on New Year’s in Spain, with arrangements being made for live bands and some of the best music being played in town. So why think twice? Celebrate with the Spaniards this New Year for that unbelievable time that you are sure to cherish for life.
