    Discoteca Liberty

    A lot more late drinking and dancing goes on in the new town. People generally frequent the disco-pubs along Rúa da República Arxentina or rowdy Rúa Nova de Abaixo before hitting one of the evergreen discos like the cavernous Discoteca Liberty , which gets going around 04:00 on weekends.
