Hi aine!
What is "el palacio" in SOL? Is that, by chance, the Palacio Gaviria ?? If it's the Palacio de Gaviria near Puerta del Sol I think you'll like it a lot. They have three "palatial" dance rooms; one for techno, one for salsa, and one for Spanish dance music. I also hope that since it's student night that you get in free because it's normall, what, about 25€ admission otherwise (but your first drink is free! OH BOY! )

And what is ERASMUS? Is that UCM's School of Engineering?

Have fun! Saludos, MadridMan

Yeah sorry I was a bit vague but I didn´t really know the name- but that must be it. As far as I know it is free. Hope I do´n´t have to produce any proof of student cos I don´t have any current.
ERASMUS students are EU students who study for a year in another European country, they get financial aid+ don´t have to pay fees. I don´t qualify cos I´m on placement but a lot of my friends r Erasmus student, Basically they give these things names like this, Leonardo +Socrates.
Thanks

Hi again, aine! I'll update your subject line for you. Also, you should be able to find lots of other informational references in this forum by using the SEARCH link above right and using GAVIRIA as your keyword. Have a good time!

Oh! I'd forgotten about the Palacio de Gaviria's "International Thursday Nights" I think I went there a couple of times several years ago, with my American and Brit friends. Beware! we never wrote our true nacionalities in our nametags, so I guess most everyone did/does the same! I remember because I pretended to be Australian once, and of course, all the guys were telling me how I looked like the "typical Australian chicks"

Free?, no, no the Palacio has an entry fee beside being the drinks quite expensive (9eur).

Hate to break it to you Andres but I got in free! Think its only really for girls tho. We had coupons that someone gave us but the boys had to pay. But yeah the drinks were stupidly dear I did enjoy the cheey music tho.
RE the badges yeah I think quite a few people were wearing badges from other countries. I was Austrian and loads of them kept on comin up to me, couldn´t really carry it off tho next time I´ll have to go for an English speakin country.
