Bars in Valencia, Spain

Menu

barFrom early evening and well into the wee hours of the morning, Valencia is full of people reveling in "la marcha" (the action). The Valencia bar scene is an eclectic assortment boasting locales of all sizes and styles.

Brimming with everything from punk hang-outs to sophisticated lounges, yuppie pubs and grunge bars, hitting up the winding streets of El Carmen - especially the street Calle Caballeros - is a sure-fire way to have a great time. If you're looking for the "in" area where the city's cool, stylish people go to play at night, head to the Plaza del Tossal and the Plaza de Abastos (especially Calle Juan Lloréns). Both areas are surrounded by hip, trendy night spots perfect for grooving to music and nursing a cocktail in a vogue atmosphere.
