Dekonya, Madrid

Depending at what time of day you come, you might find the door closed and have to ring the bell to get in - if the doorman decides to let you in, that is. During the early evening scene you'll find the place full of pretty girls and well dressed guys in suits. Later at night, the first crowd disappears and the place fills up again with performers, artists and their hangers-on. The interior is brightly painted but the lighting is subdued and there are mirrors and curtains everywhere. You have to negotiate a long and winding corridor until you finally get to the dance floor, which is also used as a stage for occasional cabaret shows as well soul and pop concerts and displays of tango.
