New to the city...

Hi Mel,

I've only just seen this post - some of us are meeting up tonight, if you have nothing else planned?

The forum thread is here: https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=77520

Hi Mel,

Don't worry, after a little bit of time in Barcelona you will meet plenty of people.
There are quite a few good salsa spots, here are a few:
Antilla which is in the Eixample. They are open most of the days of the week and stay open late. Last summer I went out salsa dancing almost every night and this was my favorite place. There are concerts on Thursday, I think starting at 10, you pay 10 Euros for entry and that also includes a cocktail The place is relatively big (compared to the other salsa spots) there are 2 floors, the upstairs is for smoking, and salsa
Mojito: another salsa spot that is very popular and the set up is pretty good so there is room to dance.
Agua de la Luna: I only went here once last summer and it was very crowded (not always a bad thing) and most of the dancers were reealllly good. I'm not sure how good your salsa is, but I thought mine was pretty good until I went there I would check it out for sure...
Salsa: is a bar/ disco on the beach that "technically" has salsa, but I wouldn't waste your time, it is REALLY crowded with people who don't dance salsa, but rather are bar/ disco hopping around the area and have happened to land there.
Sabor Cubano: located in Gracia, they have pretty good music and the people are friendly, you don't have to be a professional to go there
have you seen this link? http://www.salserosbcn.es/
I hope that helps a little bit. To be honest I don't go out salsa dancing much anymore or I would offer to take you, but once you get into the scene you will see there are options EVER day for salsa dancing

Hi there!

Why not join a club? I joined the rotaract club of Barcelona. We are doing voluntary work and have a meeting every monday in avenida palace hotel. I enjoy it very much!

Go to their facebook page (rotaract barcelona) and you will find more information.

Keri,

Thank you so much for all the information. I will go have a look at the ones you recommended.

Again: thanks a lot!!

Mel

oh and Akaza, thank you as well but a club is probably not what I am looking fot, although I'm sure it's great.

Thanks anyway
Mel
