NewzMore than 7,000 people gathered in the municipality of Bérchules, Granada, to celebrate 'Nochevieja de Agosto' (New Year's Eve in August) at midnight on August 2. The event, which takes place annually, attracts a crowd ten times the size of the local population.
The tradition originated in 1994 following a power outage that prevented residents from hearing the traditional New Year's Eve chimes. Since then, the town has hosted the celebration in August as a recurring tourist attraction.
