Fun and entertainment Spain

He is called the Café de la Luna, which perhaps explains why we spend a very good time, especially in the basement. There is a glass of wine or special teas on the map, accompanied by a piece of pie.

It is the bar of the Hotel Marina, which has been open since 2015 and has become the newest in this area. Located in a street leading to the beach, it offers an almost exhaustive menu of classic cocktails and liqueurs. All you will have to do is settle down in a nice semi-open space with white walls and comfortable leather sofas and accompany the drinks with a few homemade tapas. It's up to you to see then, if like Un singe en hiver in a Henri Verneuil film, these different drinks will transport you to Cairo.

El Pimpi has plenty of corners and nooks and crannies and the stroll deserves a visit. To admire the beautiful collections of huge posters of ferias on the walls, bull heads, bullfighter portraits, mini-patios invaded by green or flowering plants such as that of the Repompa, famous Malagueña singer. We will also go up to the first floor to go to the Palomar, Picasso's dovecote, a pretty lounge with a view of the Alcazaba and we will have breakfast on a very beautiful terrace overlooking the Alcazaba and the Roman theatre.

This venue is located in one of Madrid's most elegant neighborhoods. Exhibitions and conferences are regularly held here, but it's the superb flamenco shows that attract everyone. In 2022, this tablao entered a new phase under the direction of Lisiane Sfair and Pedro Córdoba, who aim to offer a show of the highest quality. Here, there are no microphones, dishes or drinks... Pure acoustic sound awaits you! Don't forget to book.

This authentic cavern on the cliffside, once inhabited by troglodytes, is worth a visit. Now refurbished as a club, it is a place to enjoy the sunset or, later in the night, to dance. The music produced by the club is on sale in the shop at the entrance. At night, the place becomes a discotheque that would not be out of place in Ibiza. The music is often quite commercial and the dance floor is located on the terrace, 50 metres above the water. One of the most spectacular nightclubs in Europe.

Located at the top of one of the hills of Huelva, el conquero, the place is above all a unique viewpoint over the city and the salt marshes in the distance. But other elements have made this lounge-bar with its oriental decoration one of the must-see nights since its creation in July 2007. Because if coming to enjoy the sunset is one of the first pleasures, you will also appreciate its many comfortably arranged corners, its many musical activities and why not, its football matches, broadcast live on the big screen.

Located in an alley near the Palau de la Música Catalana, an emblematic building dating from 1650 houses this social and cultural center, dedicated to contemporary performing arts, their creation, promotion and dissemination. The many visitors appreciate its garden-terrace, with its romantic atmosphere, so rare in the city. Here, in this singular theater, in addition to being there for the performances of small local and international companies, a crowd of students re-discovers the world around a few beers.

Here's the perfect spot for a cocktail at the end of the day: from the terrace of the Dirty Flamingo, the sunset is quite sensational! Born in 2023 out of the desire to create a more urban and hype chiringuito (beach bar), the project is a success. It has to be said that the location - on the jetty, level with the Hotel W, at the end of Barceloneta beach - is exceptional! The menu features fresh, thirst-quenching cocktails, a collection of quality sangrias and selected liqueurs. A trendy address to stroll around at dusk.

Created in 1880, this association has found refuge in an Art Deco building, the work of the architect Antonio Palacios Ramilo, which alone is worth a visit. In addition to the exhibition rooms, the cultural centre has a theatre, where new plays on contemporary subjects are performed, as well as a cinema-studio where films of different origins and genres are shown. After a nice visit, the best thing to do is to enjoy a coffee at l'Azotea while taking in the panoramic view of the whole of Madrid from the roof of the building.

One of the most important examples of Catalan Modernism and a world heritage site! The Palau, a masterpiece by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, was built between 1905 and 1908, commissioned by the Orféo Català, the city's symphony choir. The magnificent stained glass windows, mosaic columns and large skylight are veritable works of art, accompanying concerts of symphonic, classical, operatic and even jazz music. Not to be missed.

Every evening, the tablao Alvarez Quintero offers traditional flamenco shows. On stage, a singer, a guitarist and two dancers perform to the applause of the many tourists who have come. If it remains tourist, the show is nevertheless of quality. The artists are professionals and the setting manages to confer a certain intimacy, despite almost a hundred seats. At the end of each show, you will have the possibility to take a 20 minutes dance lesson with one of the artists.

L'Ushuaïa is a 5-star hotel that organizes impressive open-air parties where thousands of electro fans gather around its huge swimming pool, and all this in the middle of the afternoon (from 5pm to midnight). The chic detail? rooms to rent - without beds - to attend the DJ sessions in small groups, with an unbeatable view of the stage, and of course a well-stocked mini bar, a whirlpool and a massage service! Still, it will cost you around 2,500 euros a day to afford this luxury... A place that has become cult.

Located inside the Teatro Alfil in the Malasaña district, welcome to the world's very first flamenco theater! Under the expert direction of two leading figures in flamenco, dancer Ursula Moreno and guitarist Antonio Andrade, the dancers, singers and guitarists put on an intimate, top-class show. Styles such as dancing in drag, flamenco couples, singing and guitar solos, not forgetting farewells to the audience and the party, are all part of an intense daily program.

After opening its doors in 1982, the Sidecar quickly became a reference for ungerdround sounds. In Plaça Reial, the somewhat cramped premises are representative of the alternative style of music offered: ska, funk, punk, rock, etc. It is a must for Barcelona nights, where local youth and tourists looking for entertainment gather. In addition to its concerts and DJ nights, the Sidecar is also known for its activities: exhibitions, theater, cinema, gastronomy, etc.

Despite the fact that it appears to be derelict, this establishment attracts tourists and locals alike. Its dusty shelves and tattered ceiling transport you to a 19th-century bohemian bar that had its heyday when it was frequented by Hemingway and Picasso. If you're still not convinced, you'll feel much more comfortable after drinking a glass of absinthe, the house specialty! Will the "green fairy" bring out the artist in you?
