Youthful night
Granada’s 60.000-strong student population makes this an emblematic university city, bringing a lively, cosmopolitan atmosphere to its streets and making its mark on the city’s vibrant nightlife.
The first stop on a night out is usually to partake of some of the traditional tapas, as no-one likes to move to the music on an empty stomach. The area around Calle Pedro Antonio de Alarcón is traditionally the main nightlife haunt for Granada’s younger set, although it has spread to different areas of the city and today there is a huge choice of bars and pubs, each with their own special atmosphere. Live music is on offer at weekends. Another appealing area is Calle Elvira and its side streets, with numerous nightlife possibilities ranging from select venues where formal dress is a must to drinks bars attracting an alternative crowd.
Close to Elvira is the Central area, and the Gran Vía, the Paseo de los Tristes and the Plaza Nueva are the gathering place for a slightly older crowd, who head for the glow of the legendary bars at the foot of the Alhambra. Just below the Bullring there is also a great area where some of the city’s trendiest bars and discos are open till dawn.
Lastly, for those wishing to dance techno and house till they drop, the big discos and after hours clubs are to be found just outside the city.
