Are you going to spend New Year\u2019s Eve in Madrid<\/strong>? Here is a recipe for the traditional NYE Madrid cake: your best party night ever. Follow our instructions to make it the ideal consistency you need: you\u2019ll certainly have lots of fun.<\/p>\n

NYE Madrid cake Ingredients<\/em><\/strong>:
\n1-to-N good friends or family members;
\n12 grapes;
\n1 bottle of Cava (Spanish champagne);
\n1 cup of hot chocolate + 1 or 2 pastries;<\/p>\n

NYE Madrid cake Equipment:<\/strong>
\n<\/em>1 warm, elegant, comfortable dress;
\nnew, red underwear;
\n1 good restaurant<\/p>\n

Step 1: Dressing<\/strong>
\n<\/em>In a medium-sized hotel room in Madrid<\/strong><\/a>, combine your garments and get ready for your night out. You can bring them from home or buy them last-minute at one of the several shops that stay open until late in the city. Spanish tradition says that wearing new, red underwear on New Year’s Eve brings good luck, so don\u2019t forget it.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Prepare the fun mix<\/strong>
\n<\/em>Just stir in your friends and\/or family members, and they will mix on their own.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Stuffing<\/strong>
\n<\/em>Drop the mixture into a great \u201cstuffing facility\u201d and have a Spanish-style late dinner in a nice restaurant, preferably near the centre of Madrid. Meanwhile, ask the waiter to keep chilled for you the bottle of Cava you have brought along with you from the hotel.
\nMany places in Madrid<\/a> have private parties on NYE, so you\u2019ll be spoiled for choice. Try and finish around 11.15 – 11.30. Head as near to the Puerta del Sol as you can. You need to bring the Cava* and the twelve grapes: the bars and restaurants often provide free grapes themselves, about quarter to midnight.<\/p>\n

* Note that to keep things under control, the local police confiscate glass bottles from anyone wishing to enter the Puerta del Sol on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Setting the timer<\/strong>
\n<\/em>The Puerta del Sol is the place all Spanish eyes naturally turn to for New Year\u2019s Eve in Madrid. The actual countdown is primarily followed from the clock on top of the Casa de Correos building in Puerta del Sol square. The New Year is traditionally rung in with the 12 chimes of the clock. The event is broadcast on television to millions of people all across Spain who follow along watching the fireworks<\/a><\/strong> and… eating their 12 grapes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Indeed, according to Spanish tradition, you will have abundant good luck in the new year if you eat one grape for each of the twelve chimes (doce campanadas) counting down to midnight on New Year\u2019s Eve**. Some people also put their right foot forward as they eat the grapes for added luck in the year to come. Some even suggest that it\u2019s bad luck not to try.
\nWash down the grapes with the bottle of cava: sharing will enhance your outcome.<\/p>\n

**Don\u2019t underestimate this accomplishment: managing to eat them all on time could be quite difficult, but that doesn\u2019t stop millions of Spaniards every year from trying.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Baking<\/strong>
\n<\/em>Don’t be alarmed if the bars are closed \u2013 Spanish waiters and bar staff have the chance to celebrate with their families too. They will open at least by 1 am! Choose one of the many New Year\u2019s parties at pubs<\/strong>, discoth\u00e8ques and similar places around Madrid and… bake for about 5 to 6 hours: enjoy your night until the next morning.
\nKeep on washing down with Cava, while dancing and listening to music, enthusiastically greeting the New Year.<\/p>\n

Step 6: Topping<\/strong>
\n<\/em>Early next morning, party attendees usually gather to have the traditional winter breakfast drinking hot chocolate and eating fried pastry. This, besides warming the heart, keeps the spirit away from the cold of winter.<\/p>\n

NYE in Madrid will be an unforgettable night of excitement and delight. The charming, thrilling and dreamy atmosphere of this city will make your New Year\u2019s Eve in Madrid, a truly unique experience, and you yourself will be the icing on your cake.<\/p>\n
