Nightlife info

Seville in general is a very lively, cheerful and life-affirming city. Life takes place primarily on the streets, either to eat at one of the countless Tapas bars or for the first beer before night really begins. Seville is characterized by a wide range of cultural facilities and an exhilarating nightlife. Anyway, you should remember that the rhythm of life in Southern Spain is completely different than in northern European cultures. This is particularly noticeable in the hot summer months, when the day is divided due to the siesta into two parts. During this break, which will be held after the meal, most of the shops are closed and the streets are almost deserted. Then, after the rest the city picks up pace slowly. Not before the evening hours and even up into the first hours of the night the Sevillans do not dinner. After that, however, the "party" really begins. Nightlife begins in one of the uncountable bars, many of which offer live music (especially Flamenco). The best establishments you can find in the center of the city, in the areas of Alameda de Hércules, Alfalfa and El Arenal as well as the neighborhood located on the opposite side of the river called Triana. During the summer months there are also some open-air terraces along the riverside. Bars are usually open until well after midnight. Then the nightlife goes on in the discotheques, which are spread all over the city. Some of them open their doors not until the early morning for the afterhours. Also Culture lovers will enjoy Seville: Since the Expo 1992 Seville has a very ambitious opera house, the Teatro de la Maestranza, as well as some alternative fringe-theatres. On the other hand the so-called Botellón has become a problem for residents. Equipped with maxi bottles of beer, Coke, wine and hard spirits, hundreds of adolescents get tide in public places. By the way the car stereo at full volume and noisy partying.
