Here in Costa Rica, many locals have left their city homes for the holiday and flocked to the beach to enjoy the summer sunshine, tropical warm water and fresh cool breezes that we experience during this time of year.
The holidays, and especially New Year's, is also a popular time for visitors from other countries to visit as well. Parties are held in restaurants and bars and everyone is in a celebratory, happy mood. The spirit of pura vida permeates throughout Costa Rica.
On New Year's Eve, many locals will celebrate with family and friends, enjoying a meal that normally has a pork dish. Everyone stays up until midnight to ring in the new year and often times, you'll hear fireworks going off in the local neighborhoods.
New Year's Day is a holiday and people will often take the day to rest from the festivities of the night before and meet with friends and family throughout the day. If you happen to be in San Jose, be sure to check out the dance festival held in Parque Central.
