Kapital

On our first night out in Madrid I once again found myself in awe of this new culture. After experiencing our first Spanish train ride we arrived in the city of Madrid! It took asking a few strangers on the street in jumbled Spanish to finally receive directions to the discoteca (club) we knew we wanted to end the night at. We planned on finding a place for dinner, meeting up with our visitors, finding a small bar and ending the night at La Kapital. All went basically according to plan but we definitely got some interesting looks walking around early in the evening in "club attire." Kapital is one of the most famous clubs in Madrid. I had no idea what I was getting into when I agreed to go! This is not just your average dance club. This is a seven floor, 18 euro entrance fee, 12 euro price of a mixed drink and 8 euro beer type of club, where you need a ticket to purchase just about anything.
Each of the SEVEN (and yes I had to walk up them all in heels multiple times...) floors plays a different type of music. The top is a open roof deck which was a great place to relax. On the bottom floor, where we spent the majority of the evening, house (techno-ish) music was being played. This also included moments where a fog/cold mist would come shooting out from all directions with the intention of cooling everyone down. At one point we had confetti falling from the upper levels and throughout the whole night two professional dancers were on a stage. All seven floors were packed and it was definitely quite an experience.
We took at 6:00am train back to Alcalá and went to bed just as the sun was rising! I don't think we will make a habit of this, but I am very glad we got the full experience!
