Nightlife
Most Americans come to Seville to study because of it's unbelievable nightlife. Seville is on a different schedule than the rest of the world, and one can expect to return from a night out between 4 and 10am repeatedly. The evening starts out between 10:30 and 12:30 at a Botellon. These are large, outside public gatherings of people our age to chill and drink. Recall it is not illegal to neither drink nor pee outside, and people take advantage of both! Usually the guys bring everything for mixed drinks in plastic shopping bags, and after there are huge amounts ot trash (that get promptly pickedup by an army of cleaning people constatly on duty. A typical drink is Tinto de Verano, half red wine and half fanta-limon on ice. After one goes to a disco (there are dozens of good ones) until 4 or 5 then an afterhours disco until 8am or so. For those into electronic music, Seville is the only place I have EVER heard where breakbeat is popular. Breakbeat is not only popular in Seville, it's on everyone's car radio constantly. These pictures were taken at an outdoor disco called coloseo. The outdoor discos open in May and stay open as long as the temperature dictates.
