Madrid, Spain
On the last day of the year, around 40,000 runners in fancy dress kick off Madrid's New Year celebrations with the San Silvestre Street Race, a 10km run through the city. Afterwards, there's plenty of entertainment to be found before the fireworks start. Book in to see a flamenco at one of the many tablaos in the city: Cardamomo holds shows every evening, including New Year's Eve (cardamomo.com). As midnight nears, crowds gather at the Puerta del Sol Square: the tradition here is to eat 12 'lucky grapes' as the bells strike midnight to ensure a happy year ahead. Then the party really begins, with bars and food stalls opening up and a pyrotechnic show in front of the Madrid City Hall.
