Last updated 9 November 2026. General planning advice only; no venue, price or menu detail is stated as fact.
After a long night, 1 January is for slow plans. Some venues may host a New Year’s Day brunch or lunch, and others may simply reopen for the first meal of the year. Nothing is listed until the venue confirms it.
What to expect
1 January is a public holiday in Spain, so some shops and services run reduced hours. Venues that open may announce a special New Year’s Day menu or a relaxed lunch. As with every event on this site, we list only what the venue has confirmed.
Planning tips
- Check the opening time and the menu with the venue, as hours can differ from a normal day.
- Book ahead if you want a table, especially at lunchtime.
- If you were out late on the 31st, leave room in your plans and your transport.
