What is Nochevieja?

“Nochevieja” (pronounced noh-cheh-byeh-hah) is “New Year’s Eve” in Spanish. Nochevieja is typically a family-oriented holiday in the Hispanophone world, unlike New Year’s Eve in the United States.

“Noche” is a noun that means “night,” and “vieja” is an adjective that means “old.” In Spanish, adjectives generally follow the noun they describe.

“¡Feliz Nochevieja!” means “Happy New Year’s Eve!” and “¡Feliz Año Nuevo!” means Happy New Year in Spanish.
