When the sun goes down this slow and sleepy town transforms into a happening nightspot.

Start off in the old town. Walk along the riverside and you’ll find loads of bars and restaurants where you try all kinds of fish dishes, shellfish in particular. The variety is enormous.

After eating, most people head off to the centre. Here, you can choose anything from quite romantic bars to loud and packed discos. There are some good music bars too.

Check out La Vage Lume - their DJ plays some great stuff and they serve excellent Gaspacho. Another good place is La Pescadería. One new bar worth checking out is called Mucho Teatro . It has some beautiful Morrocan interiors. The owners own La Ponton or "the lifeboat", the biggest disco in El Puerto De Santa María.

You’ll find the best variety and the largest selection of bars and discos here. There’s all kinds of different vibes going on.

If you’re into gambling, you’ve come to the right place. The Casino Bahia de Cádiz has every game imaginable and it stays open to 5 am in the morning. The building itself has a typical Arab-Andalucían design and it’s the only casino in western Andalucía. It also has a cinema, dancefloor, bar, nightclub and a stage show. What more do you need? It’s five kms outside El Puerto going towards Jerez.
