During the summer months, the streets, squares and promenades in Spanish cities come alive with terrace bars and \u201cchiringuitos\u201d: places to enjoy a cool drink, sample local dishes, listen to music or just to have a quiet chat. Whether by day or by night, they are a pleasant place to while away a few hours in summertime.<\/p>\n<p>Open-air caf\u00e9s, bars and restaurants can be found both on the coast and in inland towns and villages. There are establishments to suit all tastes and preferences, both on busy seafront promenades and in the central city squares.
