Weird – this is an old post, but I just got a notification for it. Funny too, because my Spanish friend JUST told me two days ago about the grapes tradition, I find that so cool. As for the broken dishes on the doorstep, that’s kind of weird too, because that is a GERMAN tradition too, but not for New Year’s. Instead, it is for your “Polterabend” which is the night before you get married when your friends bring you all their old dishes for good luck and shatter them. Thanks for the educational trips around the world!
