From MADRID ...to HEAVEN!!!
De Madrid ... al CIELO!!!
This is a typical saying about Madrid, that is also true for salseros,
as we have many, many places to enjoy salsa, a lot of Latin people to them give flavor and
the longest, most crowded nights of Europe.
Many teachers here are Cuban and teach Casino style, including Rueda de
Casino. This salsa dancing style, that also predominates in Miami, is practically the only
one we dance in Madrid.
I would like to recommend trying first these practically “only salsa”
clubs, (salsa & merengue with some bachatas),
where a nice mixture of people can be found:
Azúcar. Pº Reina Cristina, 7, near
Atocha Railway Station and Metro Atocha. 23:30-5:00 from Sun to Thu and 23:00-6:00 Fri and
Sat. Medium size disco.
Tropical decoration. Good air conditioning and sound level. Usual dancers
not so open to unknown visitors as in other clubs. Best days: Fri,
Sat, Tue, Thu, Wed
-
El Son. Victoria 6, Metro Sol. Very near Puerta
del Sol. Open every day from 7 p.m.,
but "fiesta" begins around 00:00. Free on weekdays, sometimes with live music
from Tue to Thu at around 02:00. The club is basically a large dance
floor, with everyone moving and having fun. Also some good dancers.
Underground additional dance floor open on weekend nights. Best days: Fri,
Sat,
Thu, Wed, Tue.
-
O’zona. Av.
Mediterráneo, 12. Metro Conde de Casal o Menéndez Pelayo. Thu to Sat 23:30 to dawn. First salsa disco
in Madrid with small dance floor. Usually show on Thursday.
First time there you will get invitations with free entrance and one drink for Thursday
and Friday. Salsa lessons. Best days: Thu, Fri
- Randall.Ferraz, 38. Metro Ventura Rodríguez. Large salsa disco with
high dancing level. Open from Mon to Sat. Wed&Thu from 22:30 with salsa lessons
and 1 drink included with the 7 Euro entrance ticket. Best days: Thu, Fri, Sat
-
Tropical House. Martín
de los Heros, 14, Metro Plaza de España. 23:00-6:00 from Wed To Sat. Largest salsa disco in
Madrid. Smart, friendly atmosphere. Just refurbished. Very high sound level. Best days: Wed, Fri, Thu,
Sat
Prices of entrance tickets are around 7 Euro on weekdays and 10
Euro on Fri-Sat, including one drink. El Son has free entrance on weekdays.
Azucar, O'zona and Randall have also entrance tickets including 2 drinks, aprox.
50% more expensive.
There are some more discos and pubs for salsa dancing, at least some
dedicated days of the week. These can be recommended:
Julián Romea,4. Metro Islas Filipinas o Guzmán el Bueno.
Salsa on Sun from 19:30 to 01:30. Very friendly atmosphere.
- La Riviera.
Pº Bajo de la Virgen del Puerto s/n.
Besides Puente de Segovia bridge. Metro Príncipe Pío, 10 minutes walking. They have
salsanights on summer’s Sundays. 24:00 to dawn. Dancing place is a big,semi-open
terrace. Better after 1:30 hours. A must in summer!
- Parche. Ayala, 120.
Metro Goya. Salsa days on Thu & Sun. This is a disco-bar, smaller than a disco, very
recommendable those days of the week. Here you can find a good atmosphere earlier than at
discos, from aprox. 23:00. Opens at 19:00. Free entrance. Cheap drinks. Very famous salsa lessons.
- Trinidad.Tutor
14, corner Princesa 27. Metro Ventura Rodriguez. Salsa on Thu (mainly latin people) and
Fri (multicultural). Very good dance floor. Very appropriated for groups of friends.
You must take into account that people in Madrid usually have dinner
very late or enjoy other places before going to the Salsa clubs. With a few
exceptions, indicated above, it is difficult to find a
good atmosphere before 1 A.M. Of course, it is interesting going earlier if you want to
find a good place to sit down near the dance floor!
Anyway, if you come to Madrid and want to get the most up to date
information, buy the weekly "Guía del Ocio” at any kiosko. Within the "Guía del Ocio" you will find a very good guide for Salsa Lessons, in Dance Schools and Pubs, that are an interesting
alternative, sometimes cheaper, to salsa lessons available in most Dance Clubs. If
you want any specific recommendation about salsa lessons or want to contact a teacher
before coming here, let me know.
If you have any questions or comments, please, contact me. I would also
appreciate your feedback about salsa dancing in Madrid and Spain. I think you will have
some great experiences here!
