As you walk up and down...

As you walk up and down Gran Via, there are not ladies on the sidewalks except in one area on a plaza off the Gran Via on Calle Montera - I think. But, at almost every corner along Gran Via between Plaza España and Gran Via metro stop there are guys with flyers for clubs. I went into one that was topless. The name was that. Topless. And the ladies were indeed topless in tangas. It was a narrow little bar with ladies sitting on stools in front of a mirror and some cushioned benches on both sides of the room (about 10 feet wide room, 25 feet long) 40€ for the lady and 10€ for me and we had drinks and she danced for me grinding grinding. the guy across the aisle on the other couch was really getting his hands full. I tired of that and sought out Chelsea (Chelsey) because it was reported to be upper class and really hot ladies. I found Chelsea and paid 10€ for entrance which included first drink.

As you go down the stairs, there is a smallish bar at the bottom with about 10 ladies - most with sexy dresses, a couple just g strings - at the bar and every one says high as you come down. down more levels is a small stage with a pole. No one dancing the 45 minutes I was there but, as I left one lady started dancing - sorta backlighted by teh stage lights.

The hostess lady showed me to a booth area, introduced me to a 30 something Ukrainian lady and took my drink order and they both convinced me to buy the lady a 40€ drink. it was an interesting time chatting with her in Spanish and English and learning Ukrain and Russian words and learning how the Chelsea system works. For the drink you get about 15 or 20 min time withthe lady, and some playful talk which, of course turns to a sales pitch for more. So, after we talked about the cost of a main event - 250 + - she said for 180, we could have an hour and a bottle in a private booth with one way mirror and have a real private dance. No nookie but, lots of fun. For a bit more, we could have another lady join us. All was above my budget and interest that night and I left.
