One of the most welcoming cities in Spain is Barcelona, which boasts amazing architecture, art and culture and is home to more clubs, bars, restaurants, bathhouses and other community establishments than any traveler could fit into their gay trips. Visitors will surely want to visit L'Eixample, where most of the community bars and businesses are located, as well as the fabulous beaches located around this city that boasts a very active, very visible community. Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city that has earned its rank among the most welcoming, most out places in Europe and also makes a great home base for side trips to other areas that are popular with LGBT locals and visitors, such as the beach town of Sitges.
When making plans for gay vacations to Spain, you might want to consider traveling to this magnificent country as part of an organized group put together by a company specializing in gay tours around the world. Traveling with an organized group allows you to discover your vacation destination with other like-minded travelers while making new friends with which to share your new experiences.
Visitors to Spain will find a high level of acceptance and a welcoming atmosphere nearly anywhere you travel in the country. This is due in part to the legal equality granted to the LGBT community in Spain, including the right to marry, the right to adopt children and the promise of equal legal treatment on a level that Americas LGBT community continues to struggle for. So it is a wonderful country for gay tours or couples. Because of this welcoming environment, Spain is a top pick for gay vacations. The visibility of the community and the scene varies between each of Spain's major cities, including a sexually-charged nightlife in Madrid, a classy, casual culture in Sitges and a thriving LGBT community in each of Spain's major cities, as well as many smaller towns. With exceptional weather, beautiful scenery, awe-inspiring architecture and a rich history and culture, the reasons to partake in gay vacations to Spain are limitless.
Welcoming islands, cities and towns that should not be missed include Barcelona, Benidorm, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Sitges, Valencia and Torremolinos, which are the most popular destinations for a gay vacation and tours in Spain. Most of these hotspots offer excellent beaches and all offer exciting nightlife and a visible community. While Madrid is the place to be for anyone looking for a raucous LGBT scene, Ibiza and Gran Canaria offer a more laidback beach lifestyle and Valencia and Torremolinos offer a good mix of bars and beaches for the gay traveler.
If you prefer to explore alone, or with your partner or a small group friends, consider arranging your trip through a professional gay tours agency that is accustomed to organizing gay tours to Spain. This will help ensure that you have a great travel experience that is safe and enjoyable.
