Barcelona
is increasingly gaining a reputation as one of Europe's real party
cities and deservedly so. Things may start slowly with some food and
a few drinks after siesta finishes (at about 1700), but they soon
gather pace and by 2300 the city is buzzing. Friday and Saturday nights
are when the city is at its liveliest, but the drinking and dancing
keeps going throughout the week. Bars are usually open until 0200
or 0300, while clubs and discos keep going until 0500 or 0600. Port
Olympic is particularly buzzing on summer nights, as is Port
Vell, where the Maremagnum shopping
complex bizarrely metamorphoses into a nefarious collage of cafes,
bars and nightclubs and even a mini-golf course open on the roof late
into the night. In the last few years, bars modernos with music and
designer decor have been popular with a young ultra-hip clientele
across the city.
