Disfruta de las campanadas en Madrid

New Year’s Eve is fast approaching and the cosmopolitan, modern and vibrant city of Madrid is all decked out for the holidays. To bid farewell to 2017 in the best way possible and welcome 2018 in an unbeatable atmosphere, we highly recommend visiting Spain’s capital at the end of December. It’s a fantastic opportunity to experience up close and personal the fascinating Spanish tradition of eating twelve grapes as midnight approaches.

Madrid’s spectacular Puerta del Sol is the epicenter of the capital’s New Year’s Eve celebrations. Every year it hosts a fabulous show to celebrate this special day. One of the metropolis’ most emblematic spots, for this occasion it is adorned with elegant Christmas decorations to delight everyone.

The Puerta del Sol is one of Madrid’s most important plazas. With its semicircle design, into which some of the city’s most historic and transited streets lead, it houses some of the capital’s most iconic figures such as the popular clock that belongs to the Casa de Correos and which is in charge of marking the twelve strokes each year.

In this symbolic, central and popular spot, your New Year’s Eve celebration is guaranteed. Thousands come to Puerta del Sol to eat their grapes and welcome the new year with the twelve strokes marked by the plaza’s clock. In addition, our hotel offers you the possibility of watching the show and eating your grapes from our balconies, in a comfortable, relaxed and pleasant environment.

It’s important to highlight that on New Year’s Eve special security measures are put into place that are  perfectly fitting for an event of this type. Checks are carried out to ensure that no dangerous objects are brought in to the plaza and there is a significant police presence.

With all of these attractions and its unique magic, we await you in Madrid for an unforgettable celebration.
