This waterfront shopping center is Barcelona’s biggest mall – half shops – half clubs. By day it makes for a nice stroll with friends or family over the narrow wooden walkway from the end of the Rambla. By night the many clubs, pubs and bars take over. There is everything from Techno to Irish pubs to Salsa and the party isn’t over till the fat lady sings or a tourist falls in the harbour on his way home. Prices are somewhat high, but usually no cover charge.
At the end of “La Rambla” there’s the harbor. We are now on the arch over the sea that links “Maremagnum” with “La Rambla”. At your left, you can see the Columbus monument. The discoverer of America is pointing in the amiss direction, because he credibility to the east at the Mediterranean Sea, and America is on the added ancillary to the west.
At the end of the Ramblas there is the old port, and crossing a modern wooden bridge you arrive at Maremagnum area: a hot night spot, with tapas bars, restaurants, latin American bars and clubs. Many and many people comes here on the summer nights to have fun and dance all night long.
Finally, “Maremagnum” is a actual acknowledged new arcade and chargeless time area. You can acquisition actuality 12 cinemas, the Imax, and a advanced array of restaurants, pubs and discos. Night activity begins actuality about 11 pm and lasts till 6 am, but if you are 20 or older, this is not the abode to be –too abounding teenagers.
Nightlife in Barcelona is very amusing, as it occurs in the other non-summer fun capitals in Spain: Madrid and Valencia. But also Barcelona takes benefit of its very huge tourism and its population, which allows going out to clubs even at any day of the week ’til the sunrise. A great advantage if you want to go out on monday or tuesday. As for weekends (including thursday nights), the city is crowded of night hawks and lively nightlife. But in this case, in a way not as proportional as in Valencia, where even there are traffic jams all over the city with nocturnal masses, and zones with streets crowded of people having fun. The areas for night leisure are very scattered and not so concentrated, but for tourism I think the better choice is the Port Olímpic. Anyway, try to get a night guide or look up on the Internet.
As Barcelona is a very cosmopolitan city, you’ll see many kinds of people all around. So it’s difficult for anybody to feel ridiculous or to make a fool of oneself. Barcelona’s people is generally very tolerant.
