  • The eclectic “Black Lemon” restaurant-club features ethnic and world music concerts, performance art and occasional art exhibitions.

  • Antinous Llibreria-Cafè

    Antinous is a popular, gay meeting point just off the southern end of La Rambla. The café incorporates a spacious shop, stocking gifts, books and videos, and has a small bar area with exhibitions. Pick up a copy of Nois , a free magazine available in most gay venues, which gives the lowdown on the gay scene.

  • Resident DJs spin techno (Thu) and dance pop (Fri & Sat) at this buzzing spot.

  • A shiny newcomer located near the Teatre Nacional, this large auditorium is home to the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona. Acoustics and visibility are excellent and, in addition to classical music, it hosts regular jazz concerts.

  • Good-looking beach boys and girls encourage everyone to dance in this California-style beach club. Meals are served on the terrace overlooking the sea.

  • The Modernista doors swing open to a young, friendly crowd at Barcelona’s oldest watering hole. Founded in 1860, the bar has many original fittings, plus eclectic music and strong cocktails.

  • An old-fashioned, dark-wood ascensor (elevator) serves as the entrance to this dimly-lit, convivial bar frequented by a cocktail-swilling crowd.

  • No prizes for the chicken-andchips style cuisine, but wins hands down for its unbeatable city views.

  • Bar Raval

    Presided over by a huge, papier-mâché flamenco dancer, this bar has catered to the film and theatre crowd for years. Rustic pizzas and salads are served until 2am.

  • The beach in front of the Hotel Calípolis in Sitges’ centre is a gay magnet, as is the nudist one on the way to the town of Vilanova.
