Gay and Lesbian Travel Overview: Madrid
Madrid gets short-changed on Spain's gay tourist circuit, which centers on Barcelona, Ibiza, and Sitges. But you've barely scratched the queer surface of the country unless you've dived into the colossal nightlife of Madrid, where hundreds of bars and establishments pump until dawn and beyond. Madrid has by far the most active and organized LGBT scene in Spain, much of it concentrated in the Chueca neighborhood (especially the streets of Calle Horteleza and Calle de Fuencarral). It's a traditionally alternative district that's been renovated in recent years, where gays and lesbians hold hands and kiss without anyone blinking. Other regenerated castizo (traditional) districts that have gone artsy and trendy include Malasana and Lavapies, which look architecturally unchanged for centuries.
