GOING OUT
The scene is late peaking around midnight, there are some good afternoon bars and some early bars, but the bigger disco pubs and late opening bars tend not to really get going until about 00:00 and stay open until 04:00 or later. So pace yourself if you going to keep it up all night. It is Spain and your lovely Spanish hosts tend to eat at 21:00 then rest before going out later, it is just the way life is in Spain.
