The best bars and cafés Spain

A name well justified for this merendero located at the end of Burriana beach, thus enjoying the most beautiful sunsets. Both merendero and beach club, the location will allow you to sit on a lounger or comfortable armchairs to enjoy various cocktails. And possibly to carry out a tapeo. If you want to be in more luxurious mode, you will choose for "Balinese", comfortable spaces surrounded by sails.

With its delightful terrace in the shade of century-old ficus trees and its Canarian kiosk design that smells good in the 1960s, this café has a Cuban feel to it and has everything to become the place to be at some point, between two visits to the city or on your way back from the beach. Depending on the time you choose, you can enjoy a smoothie, one of the many types on offer, or a very successful "barraquito especial", or some tapas. It is also the best observatory for the animation of the square.

If there is a place to come and have a drink in Córdoba, it is this one. This large lounge area, with multiple nooks and crannies for festive groups and various markets, has a superb panoramic terrace, with spectacular views of the city, the river and the Roman bridge. We sit around small tables on stools, or on Moroccan footstools inside. Be careful, it is not easy to identify the entrance, it is a very simple building hall with a very discreet logo. You take the elevator from the back and go up to the top floor.

Facing the Zorrotzaurre peninsula, this trendy bar has the most pleasant terrace in Bilbao. And for good reason: it is literally placed on the river, like a glass cube on stilts. Managed by the Bilbao Yacht Club, the bar has its own pier, which is the height of chic! Its excellent cocktails and live music program attract a young and trendy clientele. The place is particularly popular on weekends at vermut time, at the stroke of noon. A privileged spot for an aperitif or a cocktail!

Definitely seventies, this vintage café serves smoothies, cocktails and beers (there's even a gluten-free one) on formica tables. Comfortably seated in armchairs, you can listen to retro music while enjoying the trendy and boozy atmosphere and take advantage of the wifi. In the evening, a thirty-year-old clientele invades the premises to have a drink (or more) in the downstairs room, while at the end of the morning they come to enjoy the excellent brunch (eggs Bénédicte, salmon, fruit, yoghurt with muesli, etc.).

Here is a resolutely brilliant and very famous establishment of the capital! Behind the heavy armoured door and the thick red velvet curtains is a club unlike any other, where the atmosphere of 1930s Berlin cabarets comes alive every night of the week. On weekends, we come to drink a very good cocktail and to dance in good company. This somewhat secret and clandestine atmosphere makes it an original place to discover at least once during your stay. Numerous theme evenings are also on the programme.

For a warm and informal aperitif with friends, the "corner" is the ideal address. A well-known address in the whole neighbourhood. It is therefore very often crowded, and that's a good sign! One crosses there the youth of Malasaña, taking a caña while eating some tacos on one of the small tables or outside on the terrace, one always makes one or two sympathetic meetings while waiting for his order at the bar and one leaves inevitably with the smile to continue his evening. In short, the ideal address to warm up, we tell you!

Since 1929, this neoclassical restaurant-café has been offering an elegant place to relax to those who visit. You can visit at any time of the day: you will always find what you are looking for. Invite your partner to have breakfast on the terrace and try their famous hot chocolate, accompanied by churros, which are a hit. Later in the day, it's the perfect setting for a good whiskey. If you want to spend a pleasant afternoon, ask about their literary meetings or musical performances.

The bar-restaurant offers a rich American cuisine, in a cosmopolitan atmosphere and an electric guitars decor and a rock star portraits. The multitude of TV screens arranged in height can see the concerts of different artists. It is also possible to settle on the terrace surrounded by shrubs and visit their clothing shop at the entrance.

Drinking of panther milk directly to the udder? You don't dream, the Tiger's dévergondés clients are doing this in a nutty and buzzing atmosphere. The udder is false of course, and the panther milk gets closer to an alcoholic beverage whose recipe is kept secret, but the idea alone is a challenge! You will feel in the hunter's lair, stared with wild boar heads. We love this bar to warm up before the Madrid noche! Crowded, you will have trouble having a place… But stay close to the bar to enjoy free tapas!

This small bar is located a few steps from the Giralda and has an intimate and cosy atmosphere and a modern decor with purple touches. The views from the small terrace are beautiful. It is a good place to go for an aperitif before dinner or to enjoy a cocktail at the end of the evening. The staff is smiling and caring and the atmosphere is definitely friendly thanks to the brothers Lorenzo and José who will be happy to introduce you to their craft cocktail menu. To be tested.

At the arrival of the beautiful days, here is the spot not to be missed for a drink in the evening. Located on the roof of the Azkuna Zentroa cultural centre, this rooftop bar attracts a trendy clientele who come to sip a cocktail against a backdrop of lounge music. The terrace depends on the Yandiola restaurant, a good table with modern cuisine located inside the cultural centre, but it can be accessed completely independently. In addition to its chill-out atmosphere conducive to encounters, you will also appreciate its pleasant views, especially on the dome of the building.

This café, hidden in the middle of a lush forest, opens its doors to anyone who finds their way there and wants to experience a magical change of scenery. Expect to see a few fairies among the giant trees that stand next to the tables! After visiting the wax museum, stop by for a coffee break or a burger. In the evening, feel free to order some delicious tapas while watching the firmament. To the sounds of the forest, you will be carried away in a real fairy tale. One of the most original addresses.

One of the two "in" places in Sant Antoni to admire the sunsets. Attended by people of all ages, this café is famous for its terrace facing the sea. But without a doubt, the world fame of this bar is linked to the music produced on the premises, in a soft house atmosphere with a new age tendency, with decibels almost equal to those of the boxes. Their compilations are distributed all over Europe. The very original decoration, blue and pink with clouds, gives the illusion of being in a dream or in a huge meringue.

Dry Martini opens to international cocktails. In an English style, this cocktail bar, known as one of the best, offers many drinks, with or without alcohol. The menu presents eccentric cocktails, some innovations, without forgetting the great classics, like the Collins or the White Russian. Of course, it is the ideal place to sip a Dry Martini, but you can also try some fruit Martinis. If you are hungry, order some tapas, like croquetas, guacamole or some oysters from Normandy.

It is one of the historical landmarks of the village, which celebrated its eightieth anniversary in 2015. You can come and have breakfast almost with your feet in the water, and in front of the Cucurucucuc, the small cone-shaped rock that has become the emblem of Cadaqués. The croissants are a little expensive but delicious. Later, but there is not really an hour, you can also come and taste the speciality of the fishermen of the region, the cremat: cane alcohol, coffee and sugar flambé that you will want to accompany with some tapas.

Overlooking the central avenue of arrival in town, the oldest tavern in the city (1840), in an ancient setting, serves wines from Malaga all right out of the barrels, accompanied by seafood. To see, to savour… An indispensable visit to Malaga.

If you're looking for a nostalgic place to chat with friends or a couple over a cocktail, come to this establishment near La Rambla. Since 1993, this old-fashioned bar with tuxedoed waiters has been offering you the chance to sip a Tom Collins, a Bloody Mary or a Liberal. The perfect professionals prepare for you a subtle blend of aromas for an authentic taste, which reflects the passion of the owner, Miguel Boadas. So, if one evening you feel like a Daiquiri, do not hesitate to visit this address.

This coffee built in 1910 is still run by the same family. It offers us a beautiful demonstration of a simple modernism. The counter and the entire decoration surrounding it remained intact. This Pub has the reputation of being frequented by Dali, Picasso and Hemingway, until 4-5 a. m.

What a good idea! An original café with a soft ambience with books to read. A relaxed atmosphere.

A bar for lovers of transvestites entertainment. Customers not necessarily very young but good atmosphere.

Family a bar located two steps from the MACBA, true to its Catalan and popular origins, the fetiche meeting room young people in the area. Mix calendars of pin-up daughter and photographs on the walls, some tapas house, and beautiful flopée of students and intellectuals which freshen up the world around a beer.

This establishment bears its name well! Indeed, the joy is here, in a traditional and friendly atmosphere. You will appreciate the unique taste of their tapas, inside or on the terrace, if the weather allows it. The menu is quite extensive and varies according to the season. Nevertheless, the croque-monsieur with truffle, the croquetas and the dumplings with squid ink are among the specialties not to be missed. For dessert, don't forget to order a delicious cheesecake, which is very popular among the clientele. Nice wine list.

This pretty café is located in the former convent of Sant Agustí Vell, a Gothic building built between the 14th and 15th centuries in the district of La Ribera. Today transformed into a civic centre, this peaceful place is a wonderful refuge from the public eye. The café houses a real treasure: a terrace in the shade of old stone arches, opening onto the old cloister. A golden spot at the arrival of the good weather, very popular with families since children can play safely. For the little hungers: homemade quiches, salads and empanadas.

One of the most popular terraces in Gayxample at the time of the aperitif. Located at the corner of Carrer del Consell, this is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious mojito by interfering in the conversation of nearby tables or watching the quiet flow of passers-by. Inside, most of the furniture was collected in the Chelsea neighbourhood in New York.

This large retro bistro, run by the same family since 1916, has kept its circle of regulars frozen around the same deck of cards, with chickpeas as a bet. At the back of the large room, lined with clichés of old Logroño, the comedor serves as a popular canteen. Although the service is a little uneven and the cuisine rather basic, the place has kept the charm of the old century-old bistros where the old people like to meet up. You will appreciate this old-fashioned atmosphere over a coffee or a small beer at aperitif time.

Right in the heart of Huertas, people flock to Lamucca for a good glass of wine, a tapas or two, to enjoy the trendy atmosphere and to pray for a Real Madrid player to walk through the door... And yes, it does happen from time to time! Especially after the final whistle, when a DJ sets the decks alight after midnight on weekends... And yet, in this stylish venue with its industrial touches and exposed stone walls, the atmosphere is anything but stuffy. And you can enjoy it all day long.

Founded in 1905, Café Novelty is the oldest establishment in Salamanca. And, since its foundation, it has been a success story. Le Novelty is the meeting point for the city's writers and artists. Its large terrace on the Plaza Mayor is an emblematic place in the city of Castilla y León. On the menu, you can enjoy the essential chocolate churros for breakfast, croquetas (very good) and other tapas at aperitif time or more consistent specialities such as Salamanca veal with asparagus.

A large bar open at 5 a. m. or 6 a. m. for the delight of the hungry revellers, because in addition to the traditional coffee café, it also offers sandwiches and tapas. The clientele is diverse. Groups that take a break to recharge the batteries and continue the walk, drag drag, sortent coming out of La Arena (gay box next door) or going there, workers who take a little juice before going work, damned poets in search of inspiration, etc. In the day, the bar is stormed by the students.

The Parrots, a restaurant (but also a hotel and sauna) among the most famous of Sitges, just landed in Gran Canaria. Cocktails, shows and drag-queens animation.

The bar-restaurant of Cavallet beach, almost exclusively gay, does not always upon arrival of the high season. The ideal to see and be seen, when we have already made the steps on the beach… Mediterranean cuisine.

Café Mambo is an emblematic establishment located in the heart of the "Sunset Strip" in Sant Antoni, and is a true Ibiza by night institution. Just like at the Café del Mar, here you can enjoy a cocktail to watch the sunset in the company of the best DJs and artists from the international music scene. The establishment is also recommended during the day, from breakfast to a tasty lunch, all in a beautiful Mediterranean setting with beautiful sea views. In high season, we strongly recommend making a reservation!

Here you will find the "French touch chic" as this bar likes to say: for this little corner of France, go to the garden level of the Yumbo Center, at the bottom left. Here you will find a wide range of cocktails with or without alcohol, champagne, French wines (glass or bottle for both), fresh fruit juices, smoothies, which you can taste to the sound of particularly refined music and lounge, as well as their first quality coffee. The warm welcome of Olivier and Fabien will allow you to spend a beautiful evening. Feel free to ask them for tourist information and documentation in French, they will be happy to help you.

A small bar with pink walls in the heart of the historic district, nicely decorated with pictures of the old León. Behind the counter, the smiling young owner will guide you in your tasting of local wines, to be accompanied by tapas, a sandwich or a tortilla. The terrace is also very pleasant, on a large square, ideal to observe the passers-by, whether they are locals, pilgrims or simple tourists. It is also a good place to meet people, as is often the case in a country where languages are easily spoken.

A commercial gallery entirely taken by cocktail bars.

A tavern very popular for its spiked potato tapas.

Feel like partying? This is the place to go, in this rock café located on the busiest avenue in downtown Corralejo. Live concerts are programmed there every evening, with a different band that provides the atmosphere and allows you to wait for drinks or small dishes in complete peace of mind. This Rock Cafe is mostly frequented on Friday and Saturday evenings and therefore a little crowded and hectic, but it also remains very pleasant to drink a drink during the week. To follow its programming on a daily basis, go to the social networks.

It is not visible from the outside, but it is worth going in. We go there for its pretty decoration in the heart of a cave painted in white that is a reminder of the houses of Lanzarote and the intimate atmosphere that emerges from the different rooms with dimmed lights. Where you can sit comfortably on cushions that could not be more cosy and colorful. The cocktails and smoothies offered are excellent. The place also houses a small indoor garden and a lounge area to connect to the Internet. Regular musical jam sessions.

You've been walking all day to discover Barcelona, and you'd like to take a moment to relax? Le Jardinet del Born is just the place! Located on the roof of the Hotel Ciutat in Carrer de la Princessa, this rooftop bar is a veritable oasis in the city. With its punchy, colorful decor, profusion of tropical plants and casual, even romantic atmosphere, it's a great place to go at any time of day for a refreshing cocktail! A number of freshly prepared snacks are also available to satisfy the munchies. Elaborate dishes are also available.

First reason to go, this bar was awarded as the best cocktail bar in Spain, excuse me, in 2014. And as if that wasn't enough, you'll also come here because its terrace offers very nice views of the Vegueta district, since it's located at the top of the Monopol shopping centre.

Grand Rendez-vous lovers of Latin American dance. Here you dance and drink mojitos in an excellent atmosphere where everyone seems to know each other.

The Satanassa, the grandpa of the bars of the Ambiente, would be a good definition of Satanassa who is indeed one of the veterans of the atmosphere bars with drag-queens, queens crazy queens of night and gogo feathers. It could become outdated, but it resists and small new ones are not freelance it. Buzzing atmosphere that returned a death. Gay and other clients. Avant-garde music, with DJ some evenings and Sunday afternoon. Themed evenings where people are. At the entrance is the long bar where you can drink a drink (quietly is not the right word here). If the desire to dance takes you, difficult to escape, go to the lively dancers on the track and leave yourself. A surreal place, more decadent than a dozen years ago, but still surprising and open to everyone.

A bar that deserves the detour for its superb atmosphere. Very often we play guitar, everyone sings and even better: if the French are in number, you sing in French!

Perfect for a snack or a drink if you are in Plaça de la Virreina! Bar Virreina has a terrace from which you can enjoy the liveliness of the square. The warm tones and woodwork of the interior give more privacy to the discrete. You can have a coffee, a few beers or even a cocktail, accompanied by delicious homemade tapas, an omelet or one of their chicken and blue cheese and raisin sandwiches. In the evening, relax while nibbling on some patatas bravas!

Pub lounge and DJ session in this female bar. Tan, perfect hair… here is a need for style and ostentation (both physical and economic). Let us convince the most recalcitrant.

A beautiful rustic-style bodega, the perfect place to enjoy a good Catalan wine in the heart of the Born. Under the stone vaults, the charm is there: the bodega is in fact housed in a building from the 17th century. Its shelves filled with old wine jugs and bottles, its wooden tables and its beamed ceilings offer a beautiful setting to share a plate of Catalan cold cuts and artisanal cheese, accompanied by beautiful slices of pa amb tomàquet (bread rubbed with tomato). A lot of charm!

Bar located in the Born district, a stone's throw from the Santa Maria del Mar basilica. The bar Mudanzas ("moving") owes its name to the moving company that used to occupy the place. We like its bistro-like decor, with marble tables and black and white tiles. A wooden staircase leads to the second floor where exhibitions are organized from time to time. Taken over in 2019 by the group La Confitería, specialist in mixology, it is today an ideal spot at cocktail time, to test refined creations.

This café, bar and restaurant at Barrio Gòtic offers a pleasant setting at any time of the day. Recovery decoration, clientele of regulars and good background music to take a drink in the evening or offer a cheap menu at noon.

It is said that the best cappuccino in the city is savoured. At first glance, the hotel is surprisingly small and its rustic decoration at the beginning of the century. Once seated at the bar, you will have the opportunity to check the justified reputation of its exquisite beverage. Also a good address to offer you a ration of churros!
