This week on CLUB ZOOM IN we are covering Spain’s proper underground hotspot, Barraca.
With more than 50 years of history behind it, Barraca has been open since the summer of 1965. In the mid-80s its popularity rose due to the great electronic music movement that took place in Spain. The movement is known as “La Ruta del Bacalao”, where they offered a host of festivals and festivals along the Spanish Mediterranean coast, especially the Valencian one. Barraca took advantage of the movement and positioned itself as one of the greatest exponents of this underground movement.
Baracca is divided up into 4 rooms, each with the unique musical experience to offer. Circo is the largest room, with a capacity for almost a thousand people, the place where the great events of Valencia are held. DJs ranking amongst Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Ricardo Villalobos and Danny Tenaglia have passed through the booth. No doubt, the best.
La Barraca is the original club underwent an impressive renovation in 2007 that has allowed it to continue offering the best electronic music in Valencia.

Terraza with a capacity of 600 people, it’s a venue to rival some of the best in Ibiza. During the summer, it’s always the first to open. It has a huge fan base and the coolest sounds of Valencia.
Barraca has established itself as one of the most important underground clubs in Spain and hosts a lot of great sets by the most anticipated artists.
