Gay Barcelona

Barcelona's open and liberal attitude unsurprisingly attracts LGBTQ+ travellers from all over the world to this part of northeast Spain. Alongside this generally inclusive culture and a long list of sights to see, from beaches to art and architecture, Barcelona also has a thriving gay scene with plenty to do. At its heart is Eixample, also known as Gayxample or Geixample, where you'll find most of the gay bars, clubs, and cafes. Together with the Gracia district, Eixample provides a safe yet lively space to explore the gay side of Barcelona, whether that's cute independent shops or adult clubs.
