Does anybody know how New Year's Eve is in Duquesa? Are restaurants open or do we do as they do in Scotland and "first foot" people or is it just a quiet night in with the champagne and telly? Margo

As I understand the ex pats tend to get together and throw parties but the bars etc are open.  The biggest celebration is a few days after new year I think when the locals have their big festival and the children put out their shoes out for a saint (or the virgin Mary? Not sure) to fill with sweets and gifts.  Apparently its good fun up in Manilva until late.

The Spanish don't really do NYE so it is a normal day but you may find some spanish bars /rest are shut as lots of the spanish workers are migrants from other parts of Spain and go home over Xmas
.
The gift giving day for kids is the 3 kings night with parades etc 5 Jan. Fantastic for us expats as the kids get  xmas day and kings day so we often do xmas in the UK and Kings day in Spain

Brilliant! We're flying home on the 5th. Could have come home on the 6th too, but we didn't know about the 5th being special. Oh well, next year for that then. Never mind. Thanks for your posts. Margo

I wonder if we should have a party? Is that too radical?
