Hints for this Quiz
Think: first short signals, then the 12 chimes.
"Cuartos" are the preliminary quarter chimes before the 12 main chimes.
This is the order of the clock signals in the square.
The order is: first the "cuartos", then the 12 chimes ("campanadas").
en punto = exactly, on the dot, no extra minutes.
Picture the clock in your mind.
The 12 chimes start exactly at 00:00 ("a las doce en punto").
The first grape is with the first campanada.
You should start eating the grapes only with the chimes, not during the "cuartos".
One clock chime = one grape.
Traditionally, you eat one grape for each chime (campanada).
The first part pre- = beforehand, a trial version.
Las preuvas are a "rehearsal" held on December 30 in Puerta del Sol.
December weather is not summer weather.
Look closely at the scene.
In winter in Madrid it can be cold and rainy: you need an umbrella and warm clothes.
Retransmisión = a broadcast on TV/online.
Look at the family scene.
People normally watch the broadcast live on TV.
