Cultural Note
Spanish nightlife starts much later than in other countries. Discotecas typically don't fill up until 1-2 AM, and people often stay until 5-6 AM. Pre-gaming ('hacer botellón') in parks or plazas before heading to the club is a widespread social tradition, especially among younger Spaniards.
