Rule #1 Drink before. If you are travelling on a budget, the best advice would be to drink some “calimoche” before you go out. Calimoche is a special Spanish drink (wine and cola) that makes you tipsy but gives you energy too.
Rule #2 Visit tapas bars. It is an well-known tradition to start your night at one of the countless tapas bars in Madrid. These places look as tiny cafes where you can try delicious tapas with sea products, meat and spicy sauces. At the same tapas bars you can drink a glass of beer or even two.
Rule #3 Walk on Puerta del Sol & Plaza Mayor. Both squares are extremely beautiful and really vivid during the evening. There you can catch a late flamenco show, watch football with energetic soccer fans and make great pictures next to the beautiful Madrid fountains.
Rule #4 Follow precaution rules. Spanish capital is a magical city but you should keep in mind that it is a big city with a lot of different people, so before you lose yourself in Spanish dances take care of your documents. Do not take passport with you, driver’s license is enough to enter any nightclub, set up any mobile tracking device, this way you will be able to find it later by GPS or call/text tracking.
Chueca
Now when you are prepared, it is high time to go to Chueca. Chueca is a gay district, which is competing with Barcelona to be the center of gay culture in Spain. The district dates back to the 1980s anti-movement. Since then, this place has been the party center for both Madrid citizens and foreigners. Besides countless gay clubs, the district boasts dancing places that present a wild array of music options. The atmosphere in the district is absolutely fantastic, people of all ages, races and sexual preferences dancing and drinking side by side.
