Night-life so far...

Avoid Camelot, unless you want free drinks. If this is so, grab the plentiful drink coupons off the street and gulp down as many beers and watered-down Sangrias as possible , then AVIOD Camelot. It´s the 17 year old tourist hive of Salamanca, which rotates teen-sex-enticing hip hop CD. The Irish Rover is slightly more appealing, well...at least it has 2 CDs. But seriously, it´s older, grimier, and darker, and you can hear a bit more Spanish, which is approaching what I prefer. It´s half drinking Guiness on a stool and half Spanish line dancing on stage. And there are a plethera of other bars : shot bars with ¨blow jobs,¨coctail bars with with drinks the size of goldfish tanks, and one bar I particularly enjoyed named Berkland. It´s an antique furnished house overlooking Plaza Espana where the atmosphere is more coffeeshop-like. And if you´re craving a real Spanish bar, with hairy men playing darts and half-dressed children playing foosball until 2 AM, check out Latuca. You can get a caƱa and a tapa for 1.20 Euros! Pus, a good conversation with the bar tender. There is also a tapas district outside of the city center surrounding Van Dyck street. I like this area because the places are not catered to tourists, no one speaks English, and I get to pour wine into my mouth out of what looks like a watering can. I wonder if these places will be over-overflowing with students when school starts though?? It´s a bit dead here in August, but yesterday I saw some youngins hauling suitcases, so they are returning...
