Celebrating Noche Vieja in Spain is a world tradition where people enjoy a festive night with good intentions, fun, and the tradition of eating twelve grapes at the stroke of midnight. The typical dinner includes Christmas sweets and main dishes like fish or shellfish. When the clock strikes twelve, the grapes are eaten one by one to welcome the new year with champagne or wine. Join in the joyous celebration at home or in the streets.
