Viejoteca Pardo Llada

Cali


Hosted in a lovely open-air dance hall upstairs at the senior citizens association, this is Cali's original and best viejoteca (seniors disco), where the city's old-timers dress up in their best threads and show off their impressive salsa moves. It's great to come and watch over a beer even if you don't dance. It's near the Parque del Avión.

Men wearing shorts will be denied entry.
