3 Best Nightlife in Catalonia, Valencia, and the Costa Blanca, Spain

A former ice factory on Cabanyal Beach has been transformed into this industrial-chic drinking spot, complete with soaring ceilings, exposed brick walls, and vintage furnishings. Inexpensive drinks and bar food and a seaside terrace attract a trendy crowd, as does the free live music most nights.

This surreal bordello-style bar is an institution for Valencia’s signature cocktail, Agua de Valencia (a syrupy blend of cava or Champagne, orange juice, vodka, and gin). The bar’s warm atmosphere and convivial vibe are perfect for whiling away the hours at the start (or end) of the night.

Nautical knick-knacks line every square inch of this cozy tavern, which dates back to 1956. A small terrace overlooks Sant Sebastià beach.
