Macarena Club is a renowned nightclub situated in the heart of Barcelona, Spain. Tucked away in the historic Gothic Quarter, this venue began as a modest local bar, gradually evolving into one of the city’s most pivotal destinations for electronic music aficionados. Established in the early 2000s, Macarena Club has distinguished itself with its intimate atmosphere, featuring a unique setup: the DJ booth is strategically placed almost within arm’s reach of the crowd, creating an immersive and communal energy on the dance floor.

The club’s limited capacity—usually around 80 people—has made it famous for its close-knit vibe, providing a stark contrast to Barcelona’s bigger, more commercial nightclubs. Over the years, Macarena has cultivated a devoted following among locals and a “must-visit” status among touring club-goers, earning it considerable cultural significance within the Spanish and broader European underground music scenes. The venue has maintained its original location and physical structure, resisting major expansions or flashy renovations in order to preserve its raw, authentic charm; instead, it continuously updates its sound system and acoustics to stay at the cutting edge of club culture.

Macarena Club is widely credited with helping propel Barcelona onto the international clubbing map, thanks in large part to its sophisticated curation and support of both emerging talent and seasoned selectors. Notable artists who have played at Macarena Club include Jeff Mills, Ben Klock, Jamie Jones, Reboot, Tania Vulcano, Paco Osuna, and Edu Imbernon, as well as numerous respected local acts such as Andre Buljat, Angel Molina, and David Lost.
