MM. los Reyes de España).
For her part, Mª Dolores Cano has announced that at the Tardebuena party you will be able to "enjoy the Commission's bar" which will offer "always at popular prices" the traditional montaditos, tapas and mixed drinks, to which we must add "the menjars de la terra' because, with the cold these days, who doesn't want a very hot 'putxero amb pilota'” and all this with the best music with “a great session by GusyDJ69, which will put the finishing touch "in honor of a very special afternoon."
Cano has announced that from that day on, the Comissió will put on sale the Children's Lottery shares of numbers 17,056 and 20,661 "at three euros each" which, he recalled, the Comissió has played uninterruptedly since 1981 and "distributes “more prizes than Christmas.”

In this regard, Cano explained that "to say goodbye to the year, there is nothing better than training with the pre-bells at 12:00 noon and the best atmosphere." At that time, there will be bags with 12 jelly beans. “This is how we rehearse the midnight grapes.” It will be the best “prelude to greet the new year”.
