41 Nochevieja SF
NOCHEVIEJA Nochevieja, or New Year's Eve, is one of the most important seasonal celebrations in Spanish-speaking countries. Whereas Nochebuena is traditionally spent at home with the family, Nochevieja is an occasion for going out. In Spain, the highlight of the evening is las campanadas, the chimes of the clock at midnight. Until quite recently the Puerta del Sol clock in Madrid was the most viewed image in live broadcasts ushering in the New Year, but nowadays different TV stations choose different cities when it comes to broadcasting the chimes. As the bells strike it is traditional to eat twelve grapes, one for each chime, a custom known as las uvas de la suerte or las doce uvas. -

43 San Juan
m.1 San Juan, capital of Puerto Rico.2 Saint John, Saint John the Apostle, St. John.3 San Juan.* * *SM Saint JohnSAN JUAN The Día de San Juan on 24 June fuses Christian tradition with ancient summer solstice celebrations. In many areas, particularly near the sea, it is customary to light large bonfires on open ground on the night of 23 June and to burn an effigy, usually made of pieces of wood and rags, at the stake. These hogueras de San Juan, which are often accompanied by fireworks and music, draw crowds of people wanting to dance or simply to enjoy the summer evening, until the fire dies out in the small hours. Some legends credit this night with magical qualities and talk of ghostly apparitions.* * *1 (de Puerto Rico) San Juan2 (en Argentina) San Juan
