Right on the beach in Maspalomas, Strandapotheke is the place to head on your way back to your hotel after a day on the gay beach. Busiest in the afternoon and early evening, playing schlager music, come by for a nice cool beer and to chat to friends you made in the sea.

The main bear bar in the Yumbo Centre, Bärenhöhle can be found on the ground floor on the plaza, next door to the large Chins Town Restaurant. A smaller bar with a cosy outdoor terrace, with a huge number of cuddly teddy bears all over the walls inside the bar. Especially popular with the German crowd, but everyone is welcome.

Men only cruising club in Playa del Ingles, a short walk from the Yumbo Centre along Avenida de Tirajana, where the sign is easily seen on the street. Strict dress codes apply, check the website for events.

Adonis is located in the so called Six Pack area on the ground floor of the Yumbo, next to Bar Junior. Tends to be popular with a German crowd, and opening at 18:30, you can stop by on you way back from the beach for a smoothie or cappucino. Later on, it gets busier, and serves a very good beer, especially if you are a fan of Kolsch from Cologne.

In the heart of the main Maspalomas gay beach in Gran Canaria, Kiosko Beach No.7 serves drinks and light snacks throughout the day. There are sun loungers and umbrellas for hire, all with the beautiful Atlantic Ocean in view. An all new, larger kiosk has been installed, giving more space for the thirsty beachgoers. To get here, there are two options; head to the Riu Palace hotel in Playa del Ingles and then walk across the dunes in about 30 minutes, or walk along the shore from the Faro de Maspalomas (lighthouse).

Terry's is a long running show bar in the Yumbo Centre, on the first floor, just above Na'Und and Strong Construction. You'll find local drag acts here, but even if your Spanish isn't up to scratch, you'll still enjoy the show.
