¡Felíz año nuevo! - Tomar las uvas• It is traditional to eat twelve
grapes when the clock striked 12 on New Year’s Eve, one on each chime of the clock.
• This tradition has its origins in 1909, when grape growers in Alicante thought of it as a way to cut down on the large production surplus they had had that year.
• Nowadays, the tradition is followed by almost every Spaniard, and the twelve grapes have become synonymous with the New Year. Each grape is supposed to represent one month of good luck in the coming year.
