The people who live in Madrid, the Madrileños , are also known as gatos (cats), which isn t very strange when you look at the times they go out. Just like in the rest of Spain, the Madrid nightlife starts at midnight or 1:00 am.
The main cause is that the people in Spain have their dinners very late. It isn t strange to go straight to work or school after going out. In fact, traffic jams are the order of the day (night). Madrid is full of places to go out at night.
You will find all kinds of bars and clubs. When it comes to Madrid nightlife there is always somewhere you can go.
Students always gather together to have a good time. And because of the fact that Madrid has a couple of Universities, it s obvious that Madrid contains a lot of students. Also al lot of foreign students which are involved in exchange programs or just doing an intern. This makes clear that English is a well spoken language in Madrid nightlife. Arguelles and Moncloa are the places you need to be if you are a Madrid student.
Also to be aware of is the fact that Madrid has some very exciting casinos – from the amateur first timer to the big staking pro, every Madrid visitor can enjoy a night of glamour here.
