Madrid Clock Tower was built in the 18th century. Madrid people celebrate the New Year around this clock. They gather in the square and start counting down with this clock and when the bells of the clock tower start to hit 12, they eat one grape in every bell sound. They do it for the next 12 months and it is believed to bring luck.
