New Year´s Eve and the Three King´s Parade
New Year's Eve at Plaza de la Constitución
A joyful, family-friendly celebration — no giant fireworks, just pure Spanish tradition. At midnight, everyone eats 12 grapes to the sound of the bells, toasting with cava. Live music or DJs keep the party going until around 2 am under the stars.
