Years Eve by shutterstock How does the clock at Puerta del Sol in Madrid work? Has TVE recorded New Year's Eve from another place? How do they say goodbye to the year in other countries? Why do Italians throw furniture out of the window? What is this about kisses in France? Travel and discover the diversity of the world, customs, other cultures. We will tell you some curiosities about New Year's Eve, which you are surely already looking forward to for it to end this year. We hope that 2021 will be much more bearable. Happy new year! 1. The quarters by chimes Chimes 1989 - Marisa Naranjo In 1989, presenter Marisa Naranjo believed that the bells were the quarters. She told all the spectators to wait and then: “Now the 12 bells begin. The 12 bells have ended. There was no live regret, everything happened normally. In 1990, Marisa Naranjo returned to present the chimes. Since then, the typical tension has been formed in each house: «The rooms, the rooms! Don't eat yet, they are the fourth. Now!". That mistake generated a collective fear that we still maintain. 2. Find a partner in France In France, mistletoe is placed under door lintels on New Year's Eve. It is said that if you kiss a stranger under the mistletoe, the next year you will find your better half.
Then the mistletoe must be burned. Social networks still respect this tradition, which continues to be celebrated. Except for the pandemic years, of course. 3. Kiribati and Samoa, the first Kiribati, an Colombia Mobile Number List archipelago in the Pacific, is one of the first places in the world to welcome the New Year: 13 hours earlier than in Spain. More specifically, Kiritimati, one of its islands. Also Samoa, which until a few years ago was the last. However, since the islands located in the Pacific can choose whether they prefer to be east or west of the 180th Meridian line, it is now one of the first. 4. In Italy, the house through the window It is the Notte di Capodanno : lentils are eaten for dinner with cotechino , a type of cooked sausage. Lentils symbolize prosperity because they are reminiscent of coins.

It was a tradition from the Modena area, in the central-north of the country, but it spread throughout Italy. Also that night the Italians throw away furniture that they do not use. Even through the window. The usual thing is to throw something symbolically so as not to kill anyone. 5. Danes always break a plate In Spain we have the image of Scandinavians as the height of civility. But not. There is one night when they break loose and there is not a child who does not break a plate. Correct: it is New Year's Eve. Tradition dictates breaking the plates used at dinners. Like asking your mother to take out the expensive dishes. We are good in Spain. 6. Yellow underwear We don't know where the superstition of wearing red underwear on New Year's Eve comes from. The night promises less if you wear white. Or blue. But in Peru the usual thing is to wear underwear not only yellow (there, screaming), but also inside out. It is said that some also crawl under the table on all fours, but we have not been able to confirm this. You will have to go there to see it. 7. Chile: Spain plus Italy It is said as a joke that "Mexicans descend from the Aztecs, Peruvians from the Incas and Argentines from the ship." The history of human emigration is already known.
