    Peña Flamenca La Perla

    The paint-peeled Peña La Perla set romantically next to the crashing Atlantic surf hosts flamenco nights at 10pm most Fridays, more so in spring and summer. Right beside the ocean just off Calle Concepción Arenal in the Barrio de Santa María, entry is free and the audience is stuffed with aficionados. It’s an unforgettable experience.
