Nightlife in Sevilla

Coming to Spain for the first time I had no idea about the nightlife here. The first night here I went out for some drinks with some friends and we went to a terrace. It was my first time going out for drinks and being able to legally order them because I was only 19 so it was a very new experience for me. It was only my first night out and I was out until 4 in the morning which was really crazy to think about but with the time change it was as if it was like 10 at night at home. It was crazy to see even as it got later into the night there were moms out with their kids past 11 which is really late for kids in America. The first weekend at my host mother’s house, my roommate and I didn’t even start to get ready until 11 at night because we were going out at 1 in the morning. When I told my mom and family back home I was going out at 1 they thought I meant 1 in the afternoon not the morning, they were really shocked that I was going out so late. When I got to the terrace I noticed that the night picked up around 3 in the morning, that was like the hour when the most people were out. My friends and I ended up staying out until 7 in the morning which was one of the first times I’ve ever been out that late. It came as a big shock to me to see how night life is here and how so many people are out as well as how common it is to come back home so late. It was a great experience for me as well as a culture shock but I enjoyed it very much during my time here in Spain.
