An empty Puerta del Sol to celebrate New Year's Eve
epa08911325 A view of the clock tower of the 'Palacio de Correos', headquarters of Madrid's city hall, in downtown Madrid, central Spain, 30 December 2020. For the first time since 1901, the tradition of celebrating New Year's eve at the 'Puerta del Sol' is to be forbidden because of the coronavirus pandemic. Neither the 'Spanish flu' nor the Civil War prevented the celebration. The pandemic will also leave Madrid without cotillion parties and without the popular version of the 'San Silvestre' race.
