In comparison with Christmas, the New Year in Spain is a fairly young holiday, and therefore some ancient rituals and ceremonies are not associated with it. Usually Spaniards spend New Year's Eve in the street, at various festivities, in restaurants and bars. Young people prefer to gather in the house of one of the participants of the celebration. In Madrid, in the central square of the Puerta del Sol, a crowd of merry Spanish gathers traditionally.

In Spain, there is a New Year's custom: while the clock strikes one has to swallow twelve grapes - then the cherished desires will be fulfilled. It happens that the grape is washed down with wine. This ritual arose after one of the Spanish monarchs in the year of a rich harvest of grapes, ordered to distribute it in the new year to all the Spaniards. Spain is a country rich in vineyards, so there is nothing strange about the fact that there are a number of traditions associated with the vine. For example, whoever eats grapes on New Year's Eve - will be with money all year round. It is also believed that the grapes, eaten on this night, drive away the evil spirit.
The whole New Year period in Spain between December 25 (Christmas) and January 6 (the Day of the Three Kings of the Magi) is called "the sacred twelve-day".
