NEW YEAR'S EVE
The last day of the year is especially singular in Coín, the visitor will have the opportunity to experience the entrance to the new year in the most original way. The streets of the city become a coming and going of costumes, a true carnival where the imagination, grace and nonsense in the dress of an entire town come together with the joy typical of these dates. The Plaza Bermúdez de la Rubia, also known as "Plaza del Pescao" concentrates both locals and visitors to take the traditional lucky grapes with the chimes of the church clock. Then the party continues throughout the early morning in Plaza Alameda, where music and a good atmosphere are guaranteed.
It is one of the most original festivals that are celebrated in all Spain and it started in the early 1970s on the initiative of some locals. Initially, groups of young people would go in costume to properties or houses where private parties were organised. Little by little this custom spread and already in the 80's people went out in costume to welcome the new year, first in the Plaza Alamada and later in the Plaza del Pescao. Since then this event has gained new followers every year due to the good atmosphere that is experienced in this first “carnival” of the year.
