Every August, some 100,000 people descend on Barcelona for Europe’s largest gay festival and ten days of riotous good times punctuated by themed dance parties and epic DJs.
The Circuit Festival is a gay Spain classic and Barcelona must-do. Be sure to stop by Chiringuito BeGay while you’re there, a gay Barcelona institution serving up delicious drinks and beach bites.įor a gay party not soon forgotten, time your visit to Barcelona over one of its world-renowned festivals. For something a little quieter, Mar Bella is Barcelona’s clothing-optional gay beach. Start at Sant Miquel or Sant Sebastia Beach, both located near the iconic W Hotel (and just a stone’s throw from downtown Barcelona.) Due to their central location, these gay Barcelona beaches always attract a crowd, but that also means there are plenty of handsome, sun-kissed men around, too. We wouldn’t blame you for making a beeline straight to Barcelona’s 4.5km of scenic coastline.
