About Barcelona and its gay life
For gay travellers Barcelona has been one of the favourite destinations in Europe for the last decades. The city has this perfect combination of a warm Mediterranean climate, beaches within and shut to the city, mountains in the hinterland and the culture, nightlife, sights and infrastructure of an European metropolis.
Among the things that create Barcelona unique are the many fine examples of Catalan Art Nouveau architecture (Modernisme Català). Barcelona is also a good place to enjoy the new design that had bloomed after the end of the Franco dictatorship in Spain.
As you can see on our gay maps, the center of Barcelona's gay scene is in the Eixample district (sometimes called the Gayxample neighborhood, or Gaixample in Catalan) with most of the gay bars, hotels and shops in Barcelona.
Annual highlights and queer events in Barcelona are Barcelona Male lover Pride in July and the Circuit Festival party weeks in August.
For a day at the beach you can go by car or train from Barcelona to the nearby town of Sitges which is quite popular with gay m

Gay Guide Barcelona
Barcelona is the vibrant capital of Catalonia. Its distinctive culture is clearly seen in its art, language and way of life. Gay people are confident but not in a flashy way. The scene has everything you would expect from a major city. You'll find the oldest male lover bars tucked away in the narrow alleyways of the old quarter around the Ramblas. In the nineteenth-century Eixample, laid out in a grid when the city was enlarged, you'll find the so-called Gaixample; here you'll detect the most contemporary architect bars for modern gays, and, impressively, the first ever straight-friendly conference hotel! It's so modern in fact that with a few exceptions, bars and clubs are not exclusively gay. Everything is expose to everyone, so that while the following listings are essentially gay, in fact there are many more available things to do, and these should be researched in bigger local publications. Lately, fresh sex clubs emerge in the area around the Poble Sec which complement well with the traditional cruising area of Montjüic.
