<p>This episode is a very special one. We’re welcoming the start of 2026 and continuing our <em>Legends of the Spanish-Speaking World</em> series with something a little different.</p><p>Instead of focusing on just one country, today we’ll travel through several Spanish-speaking cultures to explore the beliefs and traditions connected to the New Year. Are they legends or traditions? Sometimes, they’re both—stories that aren’t always told with words, but lived through actions, once a year, as people let go of the old and prepare for a new beginning.
