The Good Luck grapes



















There's so many ways to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one... our tradition in Spain is the following: Get 12 grapes ready, and when the first ring of the bell announcing midnight sounds, eat the first grape, when the second sounds, eat the second grape and so on until you finish the grapes with the sound of the bell. It is said that you will be lucky if you are able to eat them all by the time the twelve bells ring.

I consider myself a lucky person and I'm never able to eat all grapes... I don't chew them fast enough and I always end up looking like a hamster! Which makes everybody laugh!!!



What I always do is open the grapes and take the seeds away to be able to eat them faster... but I still haven't succeed! I hope I have lots of years ahead to keep on trying ;-)

This Year my family and I have spent this special night in a wonderful Spa-Hotel, we have had some good food, good massages, and some special water treatments... just fantastic!

The Spa has an old part and a new one dating 2003, it's surrounded by beautiful gardens and it helps you forget all the stress and hurry... too bad we couldn't stay longer!!!



















One of the dishes I enjoyed the most was a carpaccio of red prawns, lobster and Mango! Delicious!!!
