Entertainment in Sevilla

Introduction

When in Sevilla the nightlife focuses on making sure you have a good time, so whether that means discoteca until 7am or you fancy a relaxed dirnk with tapas you will certainly be covered here. For the right areas you generally can't go wrong by heading towards La Marcha where there is an abundance of activity. So if you want to kick things off with a cheap ice cold beer then the place for you is El Tremendo, it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing but you will have a real bargain with a decent crowd.

Another alternate twist to things 'La llustre Victima' with a mix of Moroccan food and a mixed crowd that always has an excitable atmosphere. One of the interesting places for dance music is the 'weekend house club with a mix of transvestites and great Djs to really mix things up. Another option is a bar called boss with its four bars that you will need to dress smartly though it will pay off with the great mix of people. Though if you really feel in the dancing mood then Simpecao a flamenco bar with a relaxed yet improvised place.
