If you’re
keen on an exciting nightlife, then this city is definitely
the place to be - Barcelona’s nightlife is WILD and
tireless! With the endless selection of restaurants, bars,
nightclubs and discos it is impossible not to savour the great
atmosphere of this metropolis and surrender to la marcha.
Literally, the phrase means 'the march', and refers to the
Spanish tendency to socialize, party and go clubbing. However
more peaceful and relaxing options are also available!
There is something for everyone in Barcelona by night. And
with so much to choose from the only problem you may encounter
is deciding on what to do. To begin an evening, it may be
a good idea to go for drinks at one of the city’s many
bars or sample a great meal at a good restaurant.
What follows depends on the energy you have. If dancing is
on the cards, you’ll find an endless list of possible
discos and nightclubs to try out. Dancing is very popular
here and the nightclubs usually close in the early hours of
the morning. Excellent theatre shows offer other more relaxed
forms of entertainment, as do the movies. Also very common
in Barcelona, are live music clubs, featuring a broad range
of styles, from jazz and blues to flamenco, African and even
classical music. Another option is simply trying out 2 or
3 bars in one night – this is referred to as bar crawling.
The “atmosphere” of the bars and clubs you go
to will vary depending on the area of the city you are in.
For example, the Barri Gótic combines the old, romantic
charm of times gone by with the creative new designs and decorations
of its bars and cafes – don’t expect to run into
any wild crazy partying here - this area is better for having
drinks with friends and simply hanging out; for more energetic
nights, visit the Maremagno, Montjuïc
and Port Olimpic areas – on the waterfront and especially
popular in the summer, these places are filled with mainly
students and tourists. Natives tend to head for the Eixample
area to for their dancing and clubbing. For a slightly different
mood, Poble Nou offers mainly hard rock and alternative
music in restored abandoned warehouses.
