feliz dos mil once







feliz dos mil once ( as they say in seville )
on new year's eve, the custom in spain is to eat 12 grapes during the final 12 seconds
of the year. you are supposed to make a wish as you eat each grape. 
it's a big thing in spain, for instance the tv presenters who are hosting the new year
programmes eat 12 grapes live on air. the shops also stock up on grapes.
the corner shop near my hotel sold small tins of 12 grapes especially for the occasion.

happy new year everybody !
