provided by Ulf who also made the comments.

Caribean's

"A student party room rather than a disco. Young people (university is not far). Few good dancers. More Merengue and Bachata than Salsa."

Cachao
Plz. Vicente Ros Belda, 4 (Avda. De Arragon)
Open (salsa?) all days
"Nice bar with two dance floors, good music. More Salsa than Merenge and Bachata. Ambience and age of the dancers is in a comfortable contrast to those in the Caribeans's"

The Fnac guide 'La Guia esential para vivir en Valencia' says: "Es un auttentico rincon del caribe en la ciudad, con una programacisn muy creativa que encluye musica y actuacisnes los jueves, fiestas da sorprensa todos los viernes y los sabados mas cribeqos de la ciudad."
Ulf adds: "The only place I found in town which can be regarded as a disco. A former theater. But don't expect very much Salsa. I'd say the relation is roughly 3 Salsa, 2 Merengue, 2 Bachata. Entrance usually 1000 pts, with live bands more, but included are cloak-room ticket and one drink (no matter with alcohol or not)."
