Check in Barcelona the Aloha, the Kahiki and Kahaka (all in central Barcelona). There's a Trader Vic in Marbella and others related to Hawaii in all country. You'll find all with the search button.

TW Trader Woody Member Tiki Manor, Forest of Bowland,UK Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 2301	TW Trader Woody Posted posted on Tue, Feb 10, 2004 1:50 AM There are at least 10 Tiki bars in Spain! Between us, Tiki Chris and I have visited most of the ones we know of. Check out an older report here: http://www.traderwoody.iwarp.com/spain.html It's not too hot on the Barcelona Tiki bars as they have been reported on Tiki Central along with lots of pics. Try the 'Locating Tiki' forum for more on Barcelona, where Spain's finest Tiki bars are to be found. It's sad news to hear that 'Tikis' has closed in Belgium as the loss of a European Tiki bar is a real shame. I never got the chance to visit, but the decor came from The Wild Weekend 2 - a Tiki/garage festival in the UK. These Tiki decorations were early works by Josh Collins, who also decorated the 'South London Pacific'. Trader Woody [ Edited by: Trader Woody on 2004-02-10 01:57 ]

Funny, their web-site doesn't mention anything about the change from tiki to techno... You can read a review (and look at a couple of pictures) of Tiki's in the Excursions section of my Mai Tai web-site: http://www.angelfire.com/un/maitai Will have to list it as "closed" if it has indeed been de-tiki-fied...
