Christmas with the family and New Year's with friends or with your partner, that is the usual dynamic for spending both December celebrations; the first with the traditional dinner for which the nuclear or extended family gathers, and the second in a more casual and festive mood. Precisely for all those who 'escape' from their homes and decide to come to San Miguel to welcome the new year, we have a series of ideal hotspots for what you are looking for. Of course, decide and book in advance because it is very likely that everything will be full!
Have a good dinner: Pamper yourself to close the year with everything.
