Summer Holiday/Spain Day 1 Find the nightlife
The night was still young so I decided to get dressed and go into town to sample the nightlife. The taxi dropped me by a pedestrian area that was pulsating with neon and reverberating with a cacophony of music, mostly bass. There were people everywhere; girls in tiny miniskirts and crop tops and boys in shorts and T-shirts, most of them teenagers and most of them drunk.
I walked down the street, skirting round the puddles of vomit just taking it all in. They were all there to have a good time and mostly ignored me, probably because I was older and more soberly dressed than the average. Eventually I found a bar with the music was kept down to a bearable volume, managed to snag myself a table and ordered a jug of sangria. I sit for a while, watching the young couples snogging and walking arm in arm, obviously looking forward to a more interesting evening than mine.
I look at my watch. Do I give up and go to bed, or do I see if there is a show or something I could go to.
