Luck is one of the most interesting Spanish New Year's traditions because it includes many
different ideas. One of the most famous customs is eating 12 grapes, 1 for each stroke of the clock
at midnight. The idea of 12 grapes is to bring good luck for each month leading up to the coming
year. By the time the 12 grapes are eaten, it will be New Year's day and you will have good luck for
the whole year. Another popular tradition is putting one coin into a number of cross-shaped
biscuits, the person who gets the biscuit with the coin in it gets good luck for next year.
Lottery tickets are very popular at the time of Christmas and they have a superstition
so if you rub it against a bald man's head, a pregnant woman's belly or a cat will make it a winner.
In the northwestern region of Galicia, lottery players hang their tickets to horseshoes!
If you want to fall in love you should wear red underwear to call Cupid for aid,
in some parts of Spain it only works if the underwear was gifted.

The food is probably one of the most important things in New Year’s traditions.
A custom is to eat lentil soup, as the round lentils represent a coin to bring you wealth
for next year. A traditional meal in Spain is vegetables, pork, cornbread, black-eyed peas,
and beans. Sometimes a piece of gold or a coin will be dropped into a glass of cava for good fortune.
The Spanish culture celebrates New Year because it is the start of a year which will hopefully
bring good luck and happiness.
