Paquita la de Barrenka is a bar on Barrenkale, the street in Bilbao's old town that carries most of the city's queer nightlife, close to Pepe por Dios, El Balcon de la Lola and the other bars on the same block. It describes itself as a place for whoever walks in, whatever they look like.
It runs as a dance bar with DJ sets rather than a quiet drinking spot, and takes part in Bilbao's Pride celebrations: it has given away tickets for a spot on the city's Pride parade float.
It sits in the middle of the Barrenkale bar cluster, within a few doors of several of the other venues on this street.
