This is the mother of the Arena clubs, it’s first in Barcelona and it was welcomed from the start! A very comfortable atmosphere, and it has become known for it’s wild shows usually involving a lot of leather and stripping.

On Sunday night only the famous club Space throws it’s door open for Gay Day! Men only, women are not allowed in at all. The music is funky, dance, techno and Latino and my friend Freddie says it’s the best gay night he’s ever been too. A perfect way to end your weekend and welcome in the new week. There are dance shows, strippers and if you can take your eyes off that the decoration in the club isn’t bad either.
