Salamandra

If you're willing to travel 30 minutes on the metro to l'Hospitalet, do it for a night at this 500-person venue-cum-nightclub, which regularly hosts the best local artists, including Macaco, Muchachito Bombo Infierno and Kinky Beat. Local and visiting DJs take over after the shows, and it's worth sticking around; the music stays fun, the crowd local, the atmosphere unpretentious and the drinks fairly cheap. It's also the venue where the Let's Festival takes place, every year by March, one the most important Spanish indie music festival in Catalonia.
