Valencia: El Carmen Pub Crawl & Club Entry with Shots

Summary

Valencia nightlife with club entry free shots and new friends in El Carmen

You’ll join fellow travelers for a night out in Valencia’s El Carmen district, hopping between lively bars with free shots at each stop and ending up at a club (entry included). With a local guide leading the way and pickup from central hostels, you’ll meet new people and feel that spark of belonging only nights like these can give.

What’s the experience like?

Ever wonder what it’s actually like to just show up in Valencia and end up dancing with strangers you met an hour ago? That was me last Friday. I didn’t know a single soul in the city, but at 10pm outside Home Youth Hostel, there were already groups chatting in different languages. Our guide — I think his name was Diego — had this way of making everyone relax. He shouted something about “El Carmen’s wildest bars” and we all laughed, even the shy ones.

The first bar smelled like old wood and sweet liqueur (probably the free shot talking). I tried to order in Spanish but totally blanked — the bartender just smiled and handed me something neon green. Each place had its own vibe: one tiny spot was packed with locals singing along to Spanish pop, another had walls covered in weird art. At some point I lost track of which bar we were on. Every time we moved, Diego rounded us up like a shepherd with his flock of slightly tipsy sheep.

I remember stepping out onto a narrow street for air — it was warm for April, people sitting on curbs eating late-night bocadillos, someone strumming a guitar nearby. By the time we hit the club (entry included, thank god), nobody cared who came from where. We just danced. My shoes still have confetti stuck in them. If you’re thinking about a pub crawl Valencia style, don’t overthink it. Just go. The city sort of takes care of you.
