Spanish Practices

In this episode of Living in Spain, I talk about the choking hazard that is a Spanish Tradition at New Year, drawing on real experiences of expat life in Andalusia after moving from the UK to Spain.  We cover: How a Spanish New Year is celebrated, and why twelve grapes play an important part.
