New year's Eve in Spain

New Year's Eve in Spain is know as Noche Vieja ( old night ). It is a custom to stay at home till midnight and at midnight people eat doce uvas ( twelve grapes ) , one at each stroke of the clock. This is supposed to bring good luck , prosperity and happiness in el Año Nuevo ( the new year ). In main cities people congregate in the plaza central ( main square). For example in Madrid people gather in the Puerta del Sol ( also live on tv ) and eat the grapes .

Then they dance the night until the early hours in the morning
