Happy New Year, friends of Cocalni!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The clock is ticking towards midnight, the streets are full of joy and in every corner of Spain there is a ritual that unites us all: the 12 grapes to the rhythm of the chimes. But did you know that in the Valencia Region some people have given a sweet and fresh twist to this tradition? Yes, we are talking about changing the classic grapes for juicy mandarin segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tradition with a local touch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tradition of the 12 grapes was born more than a century ago and is one of those customs that has a special place in the hearts of Spaniards. But in Valencia, where citrus fruits are almost a religion, there are those who prefer to welcome the New Year with the vibrant and authentic flavour of mandarins. Why? Because of their sweetness, their freshness and, above all, because they are a nod to one of the region's most beloved treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grapes vs mandarins: the final battle!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
