"We really wanted to go out", "I couldn't wait any longer" ... These are some of the phrases repeated by young people when they entered the nightclubs last night,

who for the first time after 19 months have opened their dance floors in eight autonomous regions

, coinciding with a bridge of the Pilar that seems a turning point in the pandemic.

The dances on the dance floor, even without a glass in hand and with a mask, and the traffic jams to leave the big cities are snapshots of the bridge that opened on Friday with half a country free of all restrictions, having been eliminated in eight communities autonomous measures that were in place to stop the pandemic.

This is the case in

Asturias, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, the Valencian Community, Extremadura, Madrid, Navarra and the Basque Country

.

In the Balearic Islands there are restrictions, but you can dance in the nightlife venues from yesterday Friday, while in Catalonia it is also possible to do it from a day before (Thursday).

Queues of an hour and a half

The atmosphere in many Madrid venues on this first night of dance on the dance floor was similar to that before the pandemic, with queues of up to an hour and a half to access downtown venues, as explained by several young people who tried to enter one of the them.

"We really want to go out, a lot. The year 2020 was very hard, but we no longer think about it,

it is already 2021 and it is different,

" explained Alejandra at the door of the Panda nightclub, which she hoped to enter despite not I had made the reservation which is usually recommended.

I was with several friends, all young, and confessed that waiting for this moment

"has become eternal."

E

lla her friends were happy to not only enter the club and remain seated, but also dance freely.

Agustín, 31, made it clear: "I couldn't wait any longer, really. The time has come and here we are, wanting to return to the new normal."

However, he and his friends were going to do it "with relaxation, with respect and complying with the measures."

These measures are, according to the director of Panda, Adrián Abad, to enter the dance floor without a drink, have a mask on if you are not drinking and consume at the bar but sitting down.

And so that they are fulfilled, he has reinforced the security personnel and has put some cords in the access points to the track, to make sure that only those who have left the glass in its place access this place.

"People really want to party, and we want to give them what they want, that's what we dedicate ourselves to," said the businessman to Efe, who assured that he is adapting every day to the new rules and is hiring more staff and that "he is leaving seeing the light ".

To the capital to dance

The Madrilenians who have stayed in the capital were joined last night by

people from other cities who visit Madrid on this bridge

and who wanted to meet fashionable places, another young man who went out with a friend from Valencia through the center told Efe.

After seeing how there was a queue in many places, they managed to enter a pub with a dance floor that was full and in which there was an atmosphere "similar to that of the prepandemia, although with exceptions."

He assured that the hostels in the capital were almost full when his friend made the reservation and that they charged him more than other times.

The Association of Nightlife Entrepreneurs of the Community of Madrid, NOCHE MADRID, celebrated yesterday Friday that dancing is allowed in the premises, a measure that will help prevent the production of bottles and that represents "a new step that allows the sector entertainment and entertainment continue to advance towards the progressive recovery of its normality ".
