On the last day of the year, the bravest and most daring people at Tarragona’s Platja del Miracle take to the cold Mediterranean to celebrate the last dive of the year, the Bany de Sant Silvestre. After swimming, all swimmers are served Cava, t-shirts and neulas (a type of Catalan cookie traditionally eaten at Christmas with cava and torró). Fortunately, a lot less cold than in the North Sea on the Dutch coast!
