WHERE: Berchules, Spain
WHEN: 03 August 2024
If for your misfortune, this year, you had lost the New Year’s celebrations, do not despair: until August you are still in time to celebrate the new year!
No. I’m not going crazy. In fact, there is a small Spanish village where we celebrate the arrival of the new year … in August. The event in question is the Nochevieja en Berchules.
No scientific calculation at the base. No alternative calendar. In 1994, the country remained without electricity on New Year’s Eve and the citizens could not hear the traditional twelve tolling of the bell; so, they decided to postpone the festivities in August, with a Christmas atmosphere and the Magi. The initiative had an enthusiastic response, well beyond expectations.
Thus, from that day, every first Saturday of August, the New Year celebrations are repeated. Moreover, it is known that the Spaniards love to party all year round. Imagine if they had any qualms about repeating some of them. At the Nochevieja en Berchules, you will be in the company of over 10000 guests. You can have fun, party, and taste the typical local desserts.
Obviously, there will be wine and anise to accompany your evenings. Given the proximity to the splendid Malaga, if you were to find yourself in these parts, do not scorn a trip to Berchules. You will not regret it. In addition to this incredible party, you will discover a truly beautiful country; a beautiful village, nestled in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park. Then, celebrating the New Year, in summer, it really has a completely different flavor!
