Presents: NOCHEVIEJA New Year’s Eve

Following the meal, Taberna whisks guests into Spanish New Year tradition with a special ceremony conducted at
midnight, designed to bring participants luck in 2008. Approximately 12 seconds, counting down the final seconds
of the year, guests eat one grape per second to usher in the New Year. Although the roots of this tradition are lost
in antiquity, Spaniards believe it ensures a joyful and prosperous year to come.
