       Año Nuevo / New Year

Como en todo el mundo, la Noche Vieja se celebra  con una  cena, en tu casa o en tu restaurante preferido, a las  12:00 (medianoche o 24:00 h) con mucho bullicio y muchos deseos  felices para el  Ñuevo Ano Hay también una tradición muy importante en España en la medianoche. Cuando en el reloj suenan las 12 campanadas  se comen las 12 uvas  una por cada campanada  y al mismo tiempo se pide un deseo por cada una para el ano Año Ñuevo. (Nota, es mejor que las uvas no tengan pepitas las uvas sin semillas son mas rápidas de comer)

As around the world, New Years Eve is celebrated by a late dinner, either at home or at your favorite resturante. 12:00 (midnight or 24:00h) brings lost of noise and best wishes for a Happy New Year. There is also the tradition in Spain at midnight. As the clock strikes 12 times, grape is eaten with each chime and at the same time a wish is made for each grape of the new year. (Note, it is better to deseed the grapes in preparation of the fast eating or use seedless grapes)
