The "main" street of Madrid is Gran Vía, a remarkable shopping and leisure area, but also an important party area, being the city centre reference all day and all night. The clubs in that area keep the party up for everyone all night until the after-hour places open.
Close to Gran Vía, there is the area of La Latina, being one of the oldest areas of Madrid with cobblestone streets and the medieval layout where we can also find a great number of bars, pubs, and theatres.
All these areas are frequented by teenagers, college students and adults. For older adults the Azca area is recommended, a financial area during the day, but a party one with its multiple bars and pubs. The party takes place mostly on Avenida de Brasil and Calle Orense until early hours in the morning. On the other hand, youngsters will enjoy a young atmosphere in the area Moncloa–Argüelles (between Plaza de Moncloa and Calle Alberto Aguilera), very close to the university and the college students residence halls.
Teenagers usually frequent the areas of Bilbao, Alonso Martínez and Tribunal until midnight, since the places of this area take a radical change for older people due to the pubs hours.
Unimagibale and unforgettable nights are offered in the enormous and diverse nightlife of Madrid. Its streets, plazas, pubs, bars, and clubs are filled with various kinds of atmospheres with and for different people ready to have an amazing time.
