For New Year in Southern Spain I will spend 31st Dec at home.
This year we have curfew at 1.30am in Spain.
It´s traditional to eat 12 grapes at midnight. They represent each month of the year ahead. As the clock strikes midnight. With each chime, you eat one grape to bring good luck for the year ahead.
I explain more here about local traditions and the atmosphere: https://www.piccavey.com/new-years-granada-spain/
Families typically have a large dinner on the 31st Dec at home and the 1st of January is a quiet day. (like a Sunday)
I am excited to put 2020 behind me (as will many) and start a new year with a better outlook.
Best wishes to all at Expat.com for the festive season and New Year ahead
