Camelot, Santa Pola

This beachside club with an outdoor dance area is a classic on the summer nightclub scene. Spanish pop is interspersed with house and techno.
Casino de Torrevieja

Torrevieja’s splendid Modernista casino (see Casino, Torrevieja) has all the usual games, but it’s certainly the most atmospheric place to gamble away your holiday money. Dress fairly smartly (no shorts), and don’t forget your passport.
Celestial Copas, Alicante

Possibly the most eccentric bar in Alicante, Celestial Copas has a wacky, enjoyably kitsch decor. Flamenco, rumba and sevillanas for an older crowd.
Churchill’s

A favourite with the Brits, this brash, raucous pub hosts legendary karaoke nights which pack in the punters, plus theme nights and lots of competitions. Tacky but fun, in true Benidorm style.
Don’t Arrive Too Early

Be prepared for a late night; clubs in Spain rarely get going before 1am.
Dress to Impress

Take some trouble over your appearance; local clubbers make a big effort. Note that many clubs don’t allow trainers (sports shoes).
Drugs

Drugs may well be offered to you, but they are illegal in Spain, and the penalties for possession are tough. Just say no!
El Caribe, Alicante

A big favourite with the local Latino community, El Caribe is a huge and popular salsateca. Learn the moves at the free salsa and merengue classes.
El Caribe, Alicante

Latino dance fans will enjoy this hugely popular salsateca, where the local South American community come to dance all night long. If you haven’t got the moves, you can pick them up at the free salsa and merengue lessons.
Flyers

You can get flyers on special one-off musical events from local music shops.
