Viñales has a couple of low-key little bars on the main road through town and, if you're lucky, there might be a concert taking place at the local Casa de la Cultura, or the hugely popular Patio de Polo Montañez, both of which are right on the central plaza, just off the church, or at the nearby smaller ARTex venue, Patio del Decimista. Sol del Valle and its leader, who plays the recorder through his nose, is worth seeking out. The scene at either Hotel Los Jazmines or Hotel La Ermita is dependent upon the type of groups and guests in residence. The Discoteca Las Cuevas is located at the entrance to El Palenque de los Cimarrones. Flashing lights and loud music get an atmospheric boost from the hanging stalactites. There's a cabaret-style show here on Saturday beginning around 9pm; admission is CUC$3 (US$3.25/£1.60).
