New Years Eve in Spain

Churros

New Years Eve is a lot of fun in Spain. Usually you would have dinner with your family plus some relatives or really good friends. Just before the clock strikes midnight you are prepared to eat the 12 grapes the last 12 seconds of the year - one grape per second. It's not the easiest thing one could do and I'm sure there must be many people choking on grapes every new year in Spain. If you do swallow all 12 grapes in time you will have good luck for the new year. I don't know what happens if you don't make it in time...

After toasting with Cava or Champagne you head out to the party. Dancing for those who want to shake some of booty. If you endure the whole night of Spanish New Years Celebration it will be time for brekfast. Breakfast for champions! Churros dipped in a cup of hot chocolate! Yum!

I can say, this year I did not make it to the breakfast. Too tired! At 4 in the morning I called it a night. I think I'm getting too old!

I was going to upload some pictures, but the darn thing isn't working today!!! I'll try it tomorrow again...
Update: Now the picture loader is working again! Yay!
