Thus, typically the night starts with eating out "Tapas". From around midnight onwards, people start moving from Bar to Bar. The Spaniards never stay in the same bar during the whole night. The majority of the bars gets lively from 23:00 onwards and continue until the wee hours of the morning.
You will find as well all kinds of British, Irish or German bars. The Spanish bars are generally much cheaper and by the way you can pick up some of the local lingo.
