It is said that Madrid is Europe’s night capital. The city has the largest number of bars, clubs per capita of any European city and a very active nightlife. Madrid’s club scene is raging, with international DJs, night club, bars, dance clubs, jazz clubs, live music performances, sports bars, cocktail bars, Brazilian bars, music bars and pubs. In the past few years, the council of Madrid has been working on stopping the “after hours” clubs which start when the regular clubs close their doors at dawn. Never the less, it’s still possible in some places to party from Friday night and not stop until the wee hours of Monday morning.
