Discotecas

This past weekend was my first full weekend in Madrid. It also happened to be the "Welcome International Students" weekend for all of the discotecas here. The clubs here are insane. I was speechless. They have dancers doing crazy performances and they have singers doing renditions of popular songs, such as Lady Gaga's Bad Romance (that is what the picture above is of). One of the clubs has 7 floors in total so the options are endless. You can be at the Karaoke bar on level 4, the hookah bar with couches on level 7, or on the dance floor (complete with dancing poles) on level 1. That club turned off all the lights and had dancers in black body suits covered with glow sticks (see below). Another thing about the club scene here is that the clubs do not open/start going until about 1:30 a.m. and they close at 6 a.m. when the metro reopens. I honestly do not know how the spaniards do it. One night of dancing for 4 hours and I'm pooped. Luckily there is a 24 hour churros place 3 minutes from one of the clubs :)
