Students and the younger crowd tend to congregate in the Pedro Antonio de Alarcon area while a slightly more mature crowd can be found around Plaza Nueva. Locals tend to go out quite late and party well into the next morning hence you are unlikely to find a nightclub that’s really swinging before midnight.
To follow the tradition of Granadinos, it’s essential to begin the evening with botellones, which is like a warm up for the evening and is a period of drinking in the streets outside of bars. The next step is to head indoors for a bit before heading off to a nightclub for several hours of dancing. Live music venues are popular in Granada with flamenco shows airing nightly across the city, as well as jazz and blues venues presenting some great local acts.
