A Night Out on the Town in Sevilla

Finally, what all of my friends have been waiting for.....a night on the town in Spain. It is finally here.

I realized when I got to Sevilla to meet my co-worker, Ansel Garcia (I also call him my mentor since he has provided me with SO much information and for the next months to come will really show me the ropes with Delfin and Madrid)that some things are universal. One of which is event marketing. The event was identical to some of the event/tours we do at GMR. They have a branded truck, display and were reaching the consumers the same way we do. The second thing was enjoying yourself after the event is over. And that's where it all begins....

After the event Ansel took me around Sevilla showing me the sites. We then met up with three of our temp staff who worked the event that day with us; Pablo, Barbara and Armeila. All of which were local Sevillans who really knew how to show us a good time. They insisted that we first meet at a traditional Flamenco bar (12am) . This was awesome! It's just a regular bar with regular people. The band consisted of three Spanish men playing only flamenco music. I watched as everyone (including my new friends) enjoyed themselves with the dance. Pablo even taught me a little bit of the dance and I can't wait to learn more!

Second stop (2:30am) was a pub down the road where American music and Spanish beers flow like water. It didn't feel too much different than some of our bars. But, it did have a great big plastic bull in it (see picture).

Third and final stop (3:00am-5:00am) was a discoteca (basically like a night club you would find in Miami). This was pretty fun although they had a strict dress attire that a few of us broke. Thanks to Barbara knowing the door men we got in just fine. Pablo took control of my camera most of the night to capture the moments. He pointed out to me a sign that was in this bar (see picture above) and he said you need to remember this for your whole time in Spain. I think he is right.

So, that was my night on the town! A typical night on the town in Spain is from 12am-7am. I am not that good, but was proud I held up until 5am! I will tell you this though...all over the world American music is king. They love it and can't get enough.
