Origin of the tradition of New Year’s Eve in Spain

# data[].attributes.body
This tradition started at the end of the nineteenth century, when Madrid’s upper class celebrated the end of the year by eating grapes and drinking champagne.
It wasn’t until the beginning of the twentieth century that the tradition spread to other areas when there was also a surplus of grape production. This tradition has been celebrated ever since, and the result is that centuries later we continue to celebrate this tradition.

The most symbolic place to eat the 12 grapes in New Year’s Eve in Spain is at the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, where the clock on the Casa de Correos building is located. This clock is the one that marks the sound and rhythm of the 12 bells, and as each bell chimes you have to eat a grape.

After a fantastic dinner on December 31 with the family, we hang out at the table to chat and get ready to eat the 12 grapes for good luck.

The tradition consists in eating 12 grapes exactly at midnight to start the year off right. According to tradition, if you manage to eat the 12 grapes in time with the chiming of the bells you’ll have a prosperous and very lucky year. Once the bells chime at midnight and you finish the grapes, the new year celebration begins with a shout of joy: Happy New Year!
