NIGHTLIFE
Taganga is known for a very lively nightlife. Locals, foreigners and visiting
Colombians come together and party at a few different locations. The party in
Taganga can shift to different spots but, at the time this was written, two
different spots were holding the best weekly parties. There are a few other bars
that are great to kick back in and have a few drinks.
El Mirador, check map. Up a hill, on the edge of the entrance to town, sits a bar
with a terrace that throws one hell of a party. El Mirador has tranformed itself
into one of Taganga's hottest party spots. With crowd of mostly foreigners mixed
with locals, El Mirador has gained a reputation as a place to party hard with no
messing around. A beautiful terrace bar has opened up and has become a must-
visit spot for partiers. El Mirador also operates a hotel and restaurant serving
American style burgers. If you stay here, make sure you bring your party hat and
don't plan on sleeping until the next day. Friday and Saturday nights are the best
nights.
