Who knew I’d get Sim joining a Salsa class!! Our hostel was running a free class, it was held right in the centre of the bar with a few audience members haha. The teacher Francesco was super lovely and took us and 4 others through the basics. We had to swap partners for each move which I thought was going to be super awkward but was actually ok and weirdly helped picking up the moves. After the class, Francesco said that he was going to a Salsa club in the centre of town and that we were free to join him. So me, Sim and Lucia (from Brazil) decided to join. Walking on the main strip felt a little sketchy!! It was super busy but not one tourist in sight. Definitely felt out of our comfort zone but was reassured by Francesco’s presence, he was local here so knew people/the area well. The club had live music of three men in suits sharing a cigarette singing spanish songs that the audience members seemed to know word for word and there were a few people dancing salsa (not loads though). We stood out like a soar thumb as the only “gringos” as our new Brazilian friend described us. We stayed for an hour or so then headed back, Francesco walked with us back to our hostel which I was relived by. We probably would have been ok walking back alone but most definitely felt safer with him. No photos I’m afraid as I was not prepared to get my phone out haha! An interesting night!
