Kapital, Joy, Pacha, Bash Line, Velada Hall, the area Huertas and Chueca. These are great places to go out. An event not to be missed is probably new year when everyone is standing at Sol with 12 grapes in their hands.

Unfortunately I did not have a lot of contact with the students at my host university so with them I did not communicate a lot. But overall I can say that by hearing and using the language of that country everyday that my knowledge about the Spanish language became more.
