New Year's Eve 2018 celebrations – in pictures Spain

Several hundred residents gathered in the square to eat the traditional 12 grapes to the sound of twelve strokes at noon in the town of Vilagarcia de Arousa, northwestern Spain. The people traditionally welcome the New Year eating 12 grapes to the sound of twelve strokes of the clock at midnight in Spain. The clock of Puerta del Sol is mainly used to carry on the tradition and for first time, the Madrid's clock will sound 12 strokes two times at 0:00 and 01:00 hours for the people in Canary Island, who celebrates the arrival of the New Year one hour later
