Hola bueno tardes everone, and Feliz Ano Nuevo (Happy New Year) hope you had a nice time .
As with much of Spain a really fantastic time time to visit is New Years Eve.
Due to the better climate The event is held every year outside at the Balcon de Europa .
We left our house just before the bells and made our way to the Balcon de Europa with our bottle of cava and 12 grapes. When we got to the Balcon with about half an hour to spare it was busy but the atmosphere was friendly with people bring boxes with champagne, wich is shared around.
On the square there was a outside bar with everyone buying cava for the bells and also buy a party bags that contained various party things such as hats and streamers. There was also a stage with traditional Spanish singers and musicains. Everyone was dancing from kids to granparents all having a fabulous time.
At 12 o clock it part of the Spanish culture and tradtion when the churh bells rings out 12 chimes of the New Year you eat your grapes on the chimes with your cava, this is actually a lot harder to do than it sounds. There was also excellent fire work display at the Balcon .
The next day we went out for a walk to blow away some of the cob webs of the night before cava and everything else we had to drink when we noticed that the place was spotless the champagne bottles and streamers and glasses were quickly cleaned up. I think that every one that made it along to new year celebrations will agree that Nerja council put on a great show highly recomened .
Don’t forget to take a look at Snoozing Monkey’web site and selection of gifts and everything for you website.
Hasta aluego amegos.
