Antilla

Cuando vivía en Barcelona teníà la suerte de vivir a solo unas manzanas de Antilla y por lo tanto iba aquí cada vez que quería echar un pie. Tiene un salón bastante amplio y por la mayor parte tocan salsa, un poquito de bachata y un merengue de vez en cuando. Es una salsateca donde la mayoría de la gente baila salsa cubana-​perfecto para los que tenemos sangre cubana! Si no quieres bailar y sólo quieres disfrutar de los ritmos caribeños, pide una cerveza y siéntate en el bar que allí también se pasa bien.
When this Miami girl lived in Barcelona, I was lucky enough to live only a couple of blocks away from this local gem. There is a great mix of people-​locals, latinos, tourists-​a little melting pot. Antilla is a great place to go and dance, its nothing fancy so I wouldn´t recommend getting too dressed up to come here. Its a fun place to spend your night if you want to sit and listen to latin rhythms or get your groove on.

I ended up at Antilla a couple times for some salsa dancing and had different experiences each time. Barcelona is not much of a salsa dancing city unfortunately. Despite the commonality of the language, salsa dancing has not really caught on in Barcelona like one would expect. There are a few places in BCN that you can get your fix at and Antilla is one such place.
Your experience will greatly depend on the crowd that given night. Regardless, don’t expect to see crowd build up at least until 11:30 if not later. The space is somewhat small and incredibly crowded during busy nights but fun nonetheless. I like the fact that there is variety in the music selection with a healthy dose of Cuban salsa.

I had an AWESOME time here at BCN Antilla. I went on a Saturday night for Salsa dancing. First of all, don’t show up before midnight. We got there around 11 and there was practically no one there. As soon as the clock struck midnight people started rolling in. The dancers were exceptional!!! They dance Cuban style for any Salsteros out there.
I think the cover was 10 Euros for women and that includes a free drink.
Awesome Awesome time. The music was great (same that we hear in the States as Salsa clubs) and the men could DANCE. It gets packed so if you are claustrophobic this may not be the place for you.
On Saturday they have a DJ, but I think there’s live music on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
The neighborhood looked a little sketchy, so we caught a cab home. I’d recommend catching a cab from the train station rather than footing it.

The Best Latin Jazz & Salsa Club In Barcelona Town.
100% A Gozarrr !!!

this is the city’s biggest salsa club, great music, Very nice atmosphere. este club es la ciudad más grande club de salsa, toca buena musica, tiene buen ambiente

Una amiga mía adicta a los ritmos del Caribe, me habló muy bien de esta discoteca latina del Eixample.
Yo no soy muy amante de estos bailes, pero tengo que decir que es uno de los mejores latin club de Barcelona. Los fines de semanas está siempre lleno.
Abierta de miércoles a domingo, propone música en vivo y salsoteca.
Punto de referencia para la grande comunidad latina de Barcelona, Antilla no sólo ofrece música, sino también varias actividades lúdicas y culturales, hasta tienen una revista: Antilla news.
En Antilla hay también una escuela de baile, que organiza curso trimestralmente y para todos los niveles.
Rumba, salsa, bachata… si estos ritmos te entran en la sangre y no te dejan parar, tienes que pasar por la pista de Antilla.
