In this club, you will usually find either soul, funk, or old Motown hits ringing through the walls. The bar is a great social place to meet people, but don't stay too long at the bar because you have to get out on the dance floor and party with the best of them! You are likely to find live blues, rock, or disco after 1:30am.

Located in Poble Espanyol, a city inside the city, close to the Montjuic mountain, awaits a fantastic open-air party. La Terrazza has a magnetic pull for some of the most acclaimed acts in Spanish and international electronic music.
The crowd varies in attendance, but remains united by its wave of enthusiastic energy. Party-goers often take the opportunity to break out the more flamboyant items in their wardrobe to match the spirit of the occasion. Heightened by its picturesque setting, a party at La Terrazza is more of a full fledged event than your average club night. It may be difficult to get in because of the crowd, so show up early.

A visit to the Market of la Boqueria in Barcelona is advisable to enjoy an incredible contrast between colours and activity, ideal to discover why Mediterranean cuisine is internationally known due to its ingredients. The best products from Catalonia in one place: fruit, vegetables, fish and seafood, tapas bars like El Quim and others...Just Perfect!!
Off course you can use the public transport easily but the metro will stop driving after twelve on weekly days so you know!!
Beautiful square with a sweet little church (Iglesia de Santa Ana) and a flower stall that looks gorgeous! Take a look inside the little church and the nice walled garden in the middle.
This permanent market is just beautifully expired!

Razzmatazz is a club and concert space set in a converted warehouse. On club nights a broadly varying music program is executed across five separate spaces (Razz Club, The Loft, Lolita, Pop Bar and Rex Room). Regular visitors know to expect a heady mix of indie-rock, techno, pop, house and electronica, which accounts for the diverse and numerous people reveling in the experience, each weekend shaking the dance floors and jamming the corridors in happy unison.
The main room is an ideal gig space, blessed with a layout that puts everyone in close proximity of the performer, creating an intimate atmosphere. Previous shows by bands such as Blur, Wilco and Kraftwerk have rightfully gone down in club folklore as classic performances, and Razzmatazz shows no sign of letting this reputation slip

With streets of hidden galleries, bars giving eight-bit music concerts, poets assembling on roof gardens, young chefs opening new types of eateries, and local designers pushing out their season collections, the Gracia District has a lot of its own sub-cultures lending their creative juices to making the barrio a very unique place to visite. Gracia is popular among students, and offers a lot of nice restaurants and bars for the student budget. All the squares in this zone, such as Plaça del Sol, Plaça del Diamant and Plaça Virreina are filled with nightlife.
On Mozart street lots of good bars are to be found. Ikastola is a nice Restaurant to have cheap dinner on La Perla Street.
Tapas 24 is not the cheapest way to please your palate—nor should one expect it to be, as it’s the offshoot of the renowned Comerc 24 restaurant located on the corner of Diputacio and Passeig de Gracia. The place tends to be packed during lunch and dinner hours, and therefore can reach shouting-inducing noise levels, which makes up part of its charm.
With simple tapas with a unique twist, the restaurant serves the kind of fare you’ve come to expect from chef Carles Abellan, a 10-year veteran of El Bulli. We suggest the Calamares a la Romana en su Tinta, the McFoie Burger or the Ous Estrellats al Gust (fried eggs with potatoes and chorizo), though these are just a slender window into the outstanding and creative selection of tapas on offer.

Its prime location near La Rambla combined with market-fresh produce and friendly service make Bar Lobo/El Japonés an excellent choice for breakfast, lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, dinner, drinks—well, really, any occasion.
This relatively recent addition to Barcelona’s gastronomic scene features a a design that perfectly balances elegance and comfort. Its terrace is furnished with cozy leather couches; the menu is varied as it is long. Rotating art exhibitions grace the upper floor, where Japanese specialties are served at night. But things at Bar Lobo/El Japonés really heat up on weekends after midnight, when the kitchens close and the DJs take over for the next three booty-shaking hours.

If you venture down to Blai street—a gentle and lively boulevard that runs through Poble Sec—you won’t miss this oasis of goodies decorated in original beriberi style.
An impressive list of teas each with a complete description, are served in intricate little tea cups that make you feel as if you were in a nomadic village. Oh wait, maybe that’s because the interior is designed to resemble a desert tent, which creates an exotic and relaxing environment. Be sure to indulge in one of their many fresh sweets. The baklava, cookies, and madeleines are perfect accompaniments to your tea or coffee. My choice: vanilla milky tea with mini apple madeleines.

A landmark location in the old sailor’s district of Barceloneta, Champañeria Can Paixano is bound to leave an indelible impression on its visitors.
The tavern atmosphere befits the available drink and fare. A selection of sparkling wines and cava (mostly of the establishment’s signature variety) is available on the condition you taste the tapas and special “bocadillos” (sandwiches) made with local sausages, which should hardly be a problem.
The party starts early and continues right up to closing hour. Leaving none wanting for lack, Champañeria offers the opportunity to take the party home, selling its famous champagnes on the spot.
