Marcha:

Esta palabra en lenguaje coloquial muy adaptada al lenguaje cotidiano se usa en dos contextos:
Ir de marcha _ to go to have fun, to drink etc...
ir a alguien la marcha_ meaning that you like sth, sometimes used ironically even if sb suffers.
Ej. A mi vecino le va mucho la marcha : HAVING FUN
My doctor is always 20 minutes with each patient, le va la marcha, used ironically, meaning that it´s tough but he enjoys it.

IN ENGLISH?

He is into parties
To be full of energy
This cit y is very lively
This city has a lot of night life

I think those are all good options.

How about 'He (really) likes to live it up' for 'Ir de marcha' ?

Quote:
