3. Salsa dance the night away at Lula Lounge.<\/h3>\n

Hopping on a plane to Spain would be a little pricey, so a\u00a0fun alternative for an authentic Spanish cuisine experience is to visit the Lula Lounge on any\u00a0Friday or\u00a0Saturday this summer. Accompanied by live bands, you\u2019re sure to forget about all your worries and just salsa dance the night away! Have two left feet? They’ve got your back!
