Barcelona, New Year’s Eve under the palms and in the rhythm of Spanish music!
Barcelona is a classic that never gets bored. On New Year’s Eve, the city turns into a huge stage, crowds of people gather at the Columbus Monument or at Plaça Espanya, and the fireworks show by the sea attracts thousands of people. Many robots organize events overlooking the illuminated panorama of the city, and the districts of El Born and Gràcia are teeming with life until the morning.

Madrid, tradition and wine!
In the Spanish capital, the New Year is welcomed according to tradition. At midnight, on the famous Puerta del Sol square, the Spaniards eat 12 grapes, one for each clock sound, believing that they will bring happiness for the next 12 months. Then begins a real fiesta, i.e. music, dance and celebration on the streets lasts until dawn.

If you are tired of winter things and dream of a new year in warm temperatures, Malaga is a hit. In December, the temperatures here reach 18-20 °C, so welcoming the New Year to the beach is nothing unusual. We can admire the fireworks, and numerous concerts and street dances are held in the nearby ports.

Alicante, fiesta with sea view!
This city in the Costa Blanca region is more intimate than Barcelona, but on New Year’s Eve it gains exceptional energy. The celebrations here are mainly held in the Plaça de l’Ajuntament. Then the celebration moves to Playa del Postiguet beach, where we say goodbye to the old year with music in a typical Spanish style.

No matter which city you choose, Spain has one common denominator: the joy of life, dance and the unique atmosphere of New Year’s night under the starry sky!!!!
Feliz año nuevo!
