They also have continuous foreign performances that make the place quite ideal for both local and foreign population. Do plan to check their calendar whether it is offering a show during your visit or not.
- Tarantos
Although there are many flamenco offerings in Barcelona, for a truly ‘tourist’ experience visit Tarantos located in the Plaça Reial. This is a small overbalanced hall for real flamenco artists who are local dancers and singers. Learned that the shows are typically separated into two segments, of twenty to thirty minutes each. It’s advised to get there early as a lot of people turn up especially if it is a peak tourist season.

Of special interest, this venue is based in the cutting-edge part of the city known as El Raval and it has been the most important music venue in Barcelona for a long time. Besides bands, there is an opportunity for DJ sets, so it is a perfect place for dancing all night long.
- Luz de Gas
Take root in the chic ambiance of Luz de Gas simply as people travel back in time. This formerly used movie theater converted into a nightclub hosts a number of acts providing live music across different music types such as jazz, soul and most popular pop music. The inside is also very magnificent which makes it even more fulfilling and a enjoyable time when in there during the night.
- Jamboree
Located in Plaça Reial, a go-to locale for jazz enthusiasts is Jamboree. Currently, they feature daily jazz shows – standard jazz, fusion and Latin jazz. The place has a welcoming aura and this was, perhaps, the right place to be as I listened to some very lovely music.
