Enjoy the Liveliest Nightlife in the World in Madrid
Madrid boasts some of the liveliest nightlife in the world. The vibrant capitol of Spain is the country’s largest city and home to some amazing cultural and artistic attractions. In America, New York is called the city that never sleeps, but the nickname should be applied to Madrid. At any time of the night, its not uncommon to see locals and tourists hopping from bar to bar, and nightclub to nightclub.
The key to enjoying the nightlife in Madrid is to start late and take it easy on the drinking or you will never be able to keep up with the locals. Tourists tend to want to try exotic drinks they have never seen, but it’s best to stick with one new alcoholic beverage a night, and alternate with with non-alcoholic drinks in between. Plenty of food doesn’t hurt either.
The nightlife in Madrid doesn’t start until after 11PM, so forget about starting to visit the bars at 8pm, no matter what you’re used to. If you are going on holiday to Madrid and want to see the real Spanish nightlife, sleep until 10PM, then eat and head out. It’s the only way to stay awake long enough to see the action.
Barcelona is also a great city in which to enjoy the Spanish nightlife. The city boasts a wide assortment of after-dark venues for tourists. As most tourists are in Barcelona during the summer months, the beach bars are quite popular. The action starts earlier than in Madrid, it’s perfectly acceptable to visit a bar at 8 or 9 pm,and leave at 2 or 3PM. The beach bars let patrons drink outside until about midnight, then you are ushered inside.
Either city in Spain is the perfect place for a summer holiday when you can let loose and stay out late drinking and dancing. If you’re on a holiday with the family, remember, the legal drinking age is 18 years old, and your teenagers will likely be served alcohol if they go out at night.
