New Year's Eve (Nochevieja) celebrations in the Axarquia.
There’s nothing like seeing in the new year on your local plaza in Spain. Live music, a cup of champagne and the fun of gulping down 12 grapes at midnight. Most towns do organise something but here’s a list of those who have been organised enough to publicise their New Year’s Eve events!
