Spain is among the first countries in the world to allow same-sex couples to freely enjoy the legal rights of marriage, to adopt children openly and to be treated as equals on a level that the American LGBT community is still struggling to achieve. Because of this wide acceptance and legal equality, Spain is among the top choices for safe, enjoyable gay vacations. From the sexually-charged scene in Madrid, to the higher-brow LGBT culture of Sitges, there is a thriving community in every major city and many of the smaller towns throughout this country that offers breathtaking scenery, stunning architecture, rich culture and history, and wonderful year-round weather that makes any time a good time for gay travel to Spain.
Some of Spain’s most welcoming towns, cities and islands include Sitges, Valencia, Torremolinos, Ibiza, Gran Canaria, Barcelona and Benidorm, each of which is very popular with LGBT visitors. Many of these must-see locales have exceptional beaches and all of them offer a vibrant community and active nightlife for gay vacations. For travelers in search of a lively scene, Madrid is the ideal choice and will not disappoint; however, those looking for a laidback vacation on the beach may prefer Ibiza or Gran Canaria, while travelers who prefer a mix of bars and beaches might best enjoy Torremolinos or Valencia.
Barcelona is a welcoming city with amazing art, architecture and culture where travelers will find a plethora of bars, clubs, saunas (bathhouses), restaurants and other establishments that cater to both locals and tourists. This cosmopolitan city is among the gayest metros found anywhere in Europe and is home to a very visible, very active community. The L’Eixample neighborhood is home to many of the community establishments, but visitors will also not want to miss the Barcelona beaches and will certainly want to make a side trip to the south to visit Sitges, a seaside town that is a favorite among LGBT visitors on gay trips
in Spain.
To make the most of your gay vacation to Spain, consider traveling to Spain as part of an organized gay tours
group, which will allow you to explore this fascinating country and all that it has to offer while making new friends and sharing your experiences with like-minded tourists.
For folks who would rather explore Spain on their own, with their partner or with a group of friends, planning your Spain excursion through a well-known travel agency with experience arranging gay holidays to Spain is the best way to ensure that you will have a memorable experience that is both enjoyable and safe.
