Madrid on Wednesday celebrated the New Year (Chinese). The Chinese community in the region celebrated on 2 February the New Year with traditional dances and oriental dances, instruments, costumes and a parade with dragons and tigers characteristic ...... the end ... all Chinese, sure!

Where will the New Year parade occur and what time? Have you been to it yourself, Jazz?

Chinese New Year Parade, "Year of the Rabbit"begins on February 2 at 11:30 am from Puerta del Sol-calle Arenal-Palacio de Oriente-Plaza España.

It should be very colorful, more and more of then there now, and seen on TV speak pretty good Spanish ::)

Does Madrid allow firecrackers? The firecrackers are an integral part of Chinese New Year - believe they symbolize the chasing away of the past year and welcome in the new .... If allowed - be prepared for a lot of NOISE!
