Want to start your new year in Marbella next year? Here’s what you can expect:
Spa
New year’s eve in Spain is all about luck, or so the traditions would suggest. After you’ve had a nice dinner with your family, you head out to the main square of your town or city to watch the countdown on the main clock. In your hand, you’ll have 12 lucky white grapes at the ready. If you managed to pop one in your mouth on exactly each chime of the clock AND have the whole bunch swallowed by the time it’s finished, then congratulations! A prosperous year awaits you. To throw you off, there’s four double chimes before the official 12 begin… So count well. And oh yes, if you want to be extra lucky, wear red undergarments. Socks, tights, bra’s or boxer shorts, it’s all allowed. But they have to be new. Or given to you by someone else. Otherwise, no luck!
Starting the New Year in Marbella
