The Centers of the Nightlife in Spain

There would be no doubt that nightlife is a way of life, and Spain nightlife is an absolute way to get a life. I bet even Spaniards party themselves to epic proportions more than any other people. La marcha, or Spain nightlife is at its highest in Madrid and Barcelona. For a party junkie like me, I should know better to use my afternoon siesta wisely if I am to crash the Spanish nightclubs since they are open until dawn.

In major cities and resort areas, nightlife is varied for all ages, there is the jazz clubs, cabarets, discos, sex shows, flamenco clubs and the usual music clubs, bars, night clubs, music halls and restaurants with floor shows. The popularity of Karaoke in many pubs and clubs wouldn’t be much for asking why.

Nightlife isn’t just about the booze and the balls in Barcelona and Madrid. It also means that whole families are out enjoying themselves while sipping coffee or sangria at sidewalk cafes until the wee hours in the morning.

Nightclubs in Barcelona

You’ll find Old Town Barcelona intoxicated with trendy, casual pubs mixed with tourist spots and local watering holes. Nightlife in this Old Town is very much simple, sitting at a sidewalk café watching people pass by in the night may be one. One should know that in Spain, the terms café and bar are quite synonymous. Although one should still have to know that a bodega specializes in wine, a cerverseria serves beer while refined palate tourists should visit Spain’s Xampanyeria or champagne bars.

It’s a sad fact that the hottest nightclubs in Barcelona are not open until midnight –because they start doing business at 1 or even 2 in the morning.  You should not be in tight budget though since these bars charge up to ten times you would normally pay for a bottle of beer. Nightclubs in Barcelona keep up with the latest and trendiest developments in the nightlife in Spain.

Some tourists in Spain may find disco music dead and dumb, so Barcelona still have nightclubs that features an edectic mix of live music. Every June, Spain holds the European Jazz Festival where the best jazz masters around the Mediterranean travels to Spain to witness and take part in the festival. In October and November on the other hand, Barcelona hosts an annual jazz festival where street concerts are very much alive and Spanish nightclubs gets a new beat.

The Madrid Nightlife

The epicenter of Spain’s nightlife can be found in Madrid. At 4 am, you’ll still have problems whre to park and how you will free yourself from the traffic jam as clubbers and ravers hop from discobares to discotecas. Discobares are the most common in the Spain nightlife haunt. These clubs entertain polysexual crowd as they play a mix of rock, dance, and salsa music. This gets going around 11pm until 2 or 3 in the morning. If Spain discotecas is what you want, don’t think about going there by midnight since they don’t open their doors until 1am.
