El Son

Still less than a year old, this salsa joint slap bang in the middle of town has lived up to its early promise and is packing them in. The punters who throng to El Son, with entry free Sunday to Thursday and a minimal thousand pesetas at weekends, come to dance and the floor fairly heaves until the small hours. The salsa-shy can take classes twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, and professional dancers mix with the crowd to keep things moving anyway. Check out the live performances midweek.
