Nochevieja

So, what do you do in Spain on New Year’s Eve (or Nochevieja in Spanish, old night)? You celebrate, have a drink, party…
And then, just before midnight, you eat one grape for each chime of the bell. 12 grapes in 12 seconds. You can actually buy small tins with exactly 12 grapes.
What else? Oh yes… To make sure to be lucky in love this coming year, you just HAVE to wear new red underpants! For sale everywhere.

OK, I could have posted a photo of some grapes. But this is more fun, no?
