Popular Holidays. Traditional Events in Spain
Arts and  popular culture in Spain
One of the most important  traditional events in Spain and one of the biggest celebrations of the Christmas period is New Year’s Eve – a special dinner where the last night of the year usually becomes one big party.

It's important to be near a clock, often the local town hall square and as the clock strikes twelve, signalling the arrival of the New Year, families in Spain come together to eat 12 lucky grapes. Tradition has it that those who manage to eat the grapes, keeping time with the striking clock, will have 12 prosperous months the following year. The tradition dates back to the beginning of the 20th century.   Madrid’s Puerta del Sol Square is one of the busiest places to be at this time of year.
