About Madrid and its gay life

For the international traveller Madrid had been in the shadow of the more fancy and fashionable Barcelona in the last ten years. For sure, the very unique architecture in Barcelona is something that Madrid can not compete with. But while the atmosphere in Barcelona tends to become similar to Paris or Milan and a bit snobbish, Madrid is pure Spain and the guys have more fun smiling and flirting.

Not surprisingly Madrid has already become an insider tip for the circuit party guys from Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne and elsewhere in Europe.

As you can see on the Gay City Map the gay epicenter is in the Chueca district between the Metro stations Gran Vía and Chueca.

Besides of partying there are a lot of other things for you to enjoy together with your travel buddies in Madrid. For some ideas check our Tips page. And if you wanna get a first taste of how Madrid looks like we have some Pictures here for you.
