In an unusual move, the nightclub Santa Rita, known for its nightlife, has opened its doors in the afternoons to provide a study space for students from the University of Málaga. This initiative, held twice this year, aims to alleviate the overcrowding of traditional libraries during exam season.

Access to this 'university library' is free, and attendees receive not only a quiet place to study but also snacks, dinner, and pens. According to Francisco Lucena, the venue's marketing manager, the goal is for students to 'feel comfortable, as if it were a real library'.

The idea originated from the marketing team itself, composed of young twenty-somethings, who seek to diversify the venue's entertainment offerings beyond just nighttime parties. 'We're always brainstorming something new,' Lucena stated, highlighting the initiative's great reception, with over 2,000 applications for the second event.

For four hours, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the festive nighttime atmosphere gives way to a silence conducive to studying. Students have expressed their satisfaction with the proposal, which arose from direct requests from the students themselves.

Santa Rita, a relatively new nightclub less than two years old and considered the largest in the capital, has also hosted other events such as basketball and football competitions and screenings of Málaga CF matches. The team aims to 'always keep people entertained' and convey 'trust and closeness'.

The venue plans to install a 15-meter banner on its facade to broadcast the 'blanquiazul' team's playoff matches, along with other surprises. The objective is for 'people to be happy and feel at home,' going beyond just the typical nightlife offerings.
