NYE | EAT THE GRAPES | CIUDAD QUESADA | FELIZ AÑO NUEVO 2025
HAPPY NEW YEAR | FELIZ AÑO NUEVO 2025
Our first NYE in Ciudad Quesada in Spain. We didn’t go out anywhere as Sur has a stinking cold and horrible cough , a legacy of our Christmas trip back to UK. Besides it was pouring down here too!
We followed the Spanish tradition of eating 12 grapes , one for eack “bong” of midnight. (see below)
We stayed in and watched the countdown on Spanish television, then Jools Holland’s Hootenanny on BBC2 !
The Spanish certainly enjoy celebrating with fireworks, there were hundreds of NYE partys as far as we could see to the horizon
WIKIPEDIA:
The Twelve Grapes[1] (Sp. las doce uvas de la suerte, "the twelve grapes of luck") is a Spanish tradition that consists of eating a grape with each of the twelve clock bell strikes at midnight of 31 December to welcome the New Year. Each grape and clock bell strike represents each of the coming twelve months

Happy New Year guys!

You could well spend a LOT of money in Sabores de Espan̈a 😂 We actually think the lights in Torrevieja are better than Alicante.. only worth visiting Alicante on the 6th December when the parade is on we think.. thanks for sharing guys 👍
@@britslivinginspain we’ll try and go the Santa parade in Torrevieja next year
❤❤ done pl sapport
So glad to be back home in Quesada ☀️
At least the trains were working... 🇬🇧 🙃
@dieseldragon6756 lol
We love it as in winter it is cold but by diner time the sun is out and it makes you feel beter as i am disabled
@@LindaSwithenbank a little bit of sun always makes you feel better 😘
We moved to spain 19 years ago and would not move back we are in land about ahour from alicante almansa if you get a spanish solicitor in the area you want to live i they will do all the paper work for you as all your english paper work has to be translated in to spain to get residency now
I’m hiring a car next visit 😂
Great video guys and interesting to hear about your full time life in Spain and glad your enjoying your new life
@@retiringtospain we’re back in UK, just for Christmas. That’s enough to confirm we made the right choice! #getmetospain
The giant nativity is well worth going to Alicante to see
Hello are you aware of a man missing in the alicante area, the missing man's father is asking for anyone who can help search for his son and the meeting point is the lucky lion each morning at 11am, the missing mans father is called billy, he needs someone who can put a drone up. Sharing this message with others in the area is also helping so please share
Thank you.

When Spain won the Euros 2024 final. We were at the Main Street party in Ciudad Quesada in Spain 🇪🇸
The day we left Wales for Ciudad Quesada in Spain 🇪🇸
Nice video. One thing you didn't mention was language proficiency. I assume you could already speak some Spanish before you moved? Or did I miss that bit? We're coming out in Feb for a look around Alicante and a bit further south down the coast. Should be interesting. Thanks for the great videos.
@@CaldonianDude hi, great question! We don’t speak a lot of Spanish, enough to order food, buy tickets, and shop, but we are learning I understand written Spanish not too badly, but they speak so fast it’s still like Alien! If you are moving to south Alicante you will not need Spanish as nearly everyone speaks English, even non British expats
@@CaldonianDude we did the same in October 2022 and spent 2 weeks in a hotel in Guardamar, a great base to explore all the urbanisations in the area. We set up viewing days with a load of local estate agents, they collected us and returned us to our hotel
@@getmetospain Nice!
@@getmetospain Thanks, useful to know although I will have to learn Spanish from scratch. Right now I have basic French only - my comprehension is better than my speaking.

Just noticed at 06:15 in the video you can see an old lady holding up her skirt to warm her bum by the fire!
Great video guys showing what's going on during Christmas - many thanks for sharing

Hi. Good informative video. Not sure if you’ll see this but if you do I’d like to know more about your TIE appointment please. It sounds like you need to speak a level of Spanish if it was all in Spanish? Was the interviewer kind and patient? I was hoping they’d speak some English for those who weren’t quite up to speed yet 🥴
Hi, thank you for your comments. Getting the TIE appointment is the hardest part at the moment, many areas only release a few appointments every day so you grab them while you can. Ours were all arranged for us by @Upsticks
The interview itself was very simple, although there was a long queue waiting to get in! Providing you have all the correct papers it only takes a few minutes and they did speak English . They take a photo for the id card and fingerprints too. We needed to go back a month later to collect our cards, no appointments required for this , just wait in the queue again
If you enjoyed our video, we have more coming on our new life in Spain, so please subscribe to our little channel!
@@getmetospain thanks for your reply. We had a chat with Chris from Upsticks the other day actually as we wanted to check he could help us with our application as we would be coming from France. Thankfully he said that would be no problem so when the time comes we will be using his services. Good to hear good reports back from yourselves too. Thanks again. I will subscribe.
@ that’s great! Good luck, best thing we ever did, 9 months today!
Good luck to you. Very informative but I'm very happy in wet and windy Wales lol
@@stevexn good luck overnight, we watched ITVWales news tonight and saw the red weather warning 😲
@getmetospain good luck to me I'm from mumbles 😂
@ Right in the eye of the storm! I saw the Mumbles RNLI on the news. Our daughter is in Swansea
We are so luck to have this view over the lakes to the Mediterranean beyond 😊
Hope you managed your swim before all those steps Neil. 😂

@ it was colder in Quesada yesterday with little sun. Today looks brighter ☀️
@@philgreen3376 it’s not far from Benidorm, but I wonder how many people visit from there? The tram would make it easy without a car
@@getmetospain chilly for that swim though this morning I bet. Gloves on for my run by the pink lake earlier.

Enjoyed the video Neil & Sue. You are getting prolific with your output 👍. The casino & cathedral look to be good value for the admission based on the prices shown online. ATB Simon & Sue.
@@simonhopkinson1815 Hi Simon Prices for entry to attractions are much more affordable here. Our daughter and her cousin recently were going to go to York Minster but were put off by the near £20 each entry fee
The cathedral here is good, but if you get a chance, visit the one in Seville, and the Mezquita in Cordoba...great video guys 👍
@@britslivinginspain thanks for your comments 😊 we’re planning road trips to see the best of Spain
Hi Neil, we love a day out in Murcia City, if you like Italian food there is a great cafe just off the square called Via Torino, half price fresh Pizza’s Fantastic👍
