We moved to spain 4 years ago to live the spanish life and the main thing for us was the music in the bars, why do people buy properties near to bars if they don't want noise, bar owners need to make a living and it is hard enough without all these restrictions on them, you will always get some bars who spoil it for the rest and abuse it by having load music after the time it should be turned off.
lots of people bought houses before bars were here i would think you dont live by them or your veiw would differant noise at any time of the day is anoying let alone at 1 am plus there are black boxes being instaled in torry and alicante dont whant another summer like last year not able to open windows or hear our own tv for the noise outside
