Party til the sun comes up! ...or at least until the public transit stops running...

Spain is known around the world for its great and late nightlife.  And Sevilla is one of the top cities in Spain for nightlife with parties lasting until the sun comes up!  Considering I have been here for a month, I have definitely not taken advantage of these opportunities considering I have only gone out twice!  Yes, twice!  And the reason would be that the hours of service of the public transportation here do not match the lifestyle!  Most parties go from midnight to 6am.  The metro stops at 11pm on weeknights and 2am on the weekends.  And there are nocturnal buses that run at midnight, 1am and 2am.  Because I am too cheap to pay 20€ to take a cab home every night and too lazy to walk 45 minutes from the clubs to my house, I have refrained from partying.  ¡Qué pena!

The two nights I have gone out were a lot of fun though!  We Love Spain sponsors parties on Tuesday and Wednesday nights (real inconvenient days of the week...) with free sangria from 11-midnight and then free cover and a free drink at a club later on in the night.  I partook in that once, which was nice to just get free drinks all night, regardless of the quality.  The club they took us to, Puerta de Cuba, was outdoors and right on the river with great views of el centro all lit up!  However, I had to leave at 1:30am (before the dancing even started!) to walk to the bus station to take the 2am bus, so there wasn't much time to party...just over 2 hours...pathetic.  It was an enjoyable night, but nothing too crazy.  You're welcome, Mom and Dad!

Our great view!

So, to make up for this, I went out on a Friday night at it was pretty awesome!  I was determined to make the most of my rare opportunity to enjoy the nightlife of Seville and decided to stay out until the sun rose!  My friends and I went to a couple bars before heading to an awesome outdoor club called Bilindo!  I like that a lot of clubs are outside...and that the weather is nice enough that the clubs can be outside.  So I was out dancing until 6am!  It was so much fun!  Due to a mistake reading the metro schedule, I didn't get home until 7:45am, and due to my roommate who chained the door shut, I couldn't get into my house!  So I got to nap on the porch and watch the sun come up while I waited for someone to wake up.  It was a pretty epic night!
My goal is to enjoy some more epic nights before I leave this place :]

FIESTA!

Walking home as the sun was coming up!

Locked out of my house...
...at 7:45am...
All I wanted was a toilet and a bed...
...is that too much to ask for?
