Ones only options, as I learned from previous experience, is to book dinner for the evening However, the cost was prohibitive - anywhere from €160-250pp for dinner including drinks.
We walked up town. The Main Street Calle Duero was festooned with lights All the restaurants were fully booked. We had a drink and returned to the apartment. There is no ringing in the New Year on the streets as in most places in the world.
Their celebration is on the eve of the Epiphany, the night of the 5th January. Santa brings presents on the 6th January. The children lined the streets at 1800 hrs, armed with their bags to collect the sweets thrown from the floats by some of their contemporaries.
The parade commenced with the postmen from
Correos collecting Santa’s letters from the children who lined the streets followed by numerous floats
The parade took one hour commencing in the light and finishing in darkness - a fantastic experience for the children.
