This MUST be an old article. There is NO curfew, and bars only need to close at 1am and not before 11.44pm.
So, you close your establishment without checking the toilets? Suppose cleaning is done the next day, when everything has had a change to dry up and 'mature', filling the bar with nice nightlifeodors...
For a second there I thought it might be Armengol. 😬
Stop using the word curfew… we DONT have a curfew. There is no state set bedtime now. We just can’t mix with other families after 1 am but there is NO curfew.
