There are only a few hours and get to the end of 2012. For us it has been a year full of news: We have released a new image, we improved our sales systems and have given back to our store. More products, more workers, more efficient and more eager than ever are all things that brought us 2012. And although the context is hard, 2013 is presented with a lot of projects to undertake and the very essence of good. To welcome 2013, you can order your grapes and cava online or in store.

Why eat grapes?

Although the origin of this tradition is not entirely clear, many sources speak of the early twentieth century, when a surplus of grapes from farmers this tradition became fashionable. Since then, eat grapes is synonymous with success and wealth for the coming year. We share the tradition with our Portuguese neighbors, but they eat dry grapes, ie raisins.

This practice, however, is not shared by all. In Lebanon, for example, twelve mushrooms are made of wheat, stuffed with raisins and a currency. Tradition says that you must give to twelve friends each of these coin and then wealth multiplied arrive. In Italy, not only for each chime eat lentils, but also have to break the glass after the toast and also throw old furniture out the window. All for the sake leave the past behind. The Scots celebrate Hogmanay, and after the chimes are offered each other liquor and oat cake to wish a good year.

As is the case with Christmas warmth gives a different touch to the end of the year in South America. All beaches are filled with people celebrating the end of the year with shorts. Pull lights sea or kiting are some of the rituals. In Brazil, the tradition says that you should throw paper boats at sea. If the waves are carried boats, means it will be a good year, but you can always try again next year.

New Year at home

Although we will continue eating grapes at home, we hope that this year your paper boat go very deep, the waves ride to discover new adventures and return full of joys and successes. Also, do not forget to get gold in the glass of cava and mainly carry red underwear.

Anyway, in the Baix Hortet want to wish you a good entry this year and a better 2013.
