The English Bakery Cafe

You are guaranteed a warm welcome at this very friendly cafe bar, located just steps away from the Yumbo Centre. Managed by three fabulous Italian guys, this is a popular place for breakfast, lunch or just coffee and cake, with some delicious fresh pastries and cakes on offer. Particularly popular with the bear crowd, but frequented by all - it happily proclaims to be straight and pet friendly!

The largest, oldest and possibly the most popular gay bar in the Yumbo Center. With pop disco music, screen projections, a dance area and a cruising area with booths (only for men). In Mykonos you will always receive a friendly and professional treatment. Located on the fourth floor, between the Tubos bar and the Mantrix nightclub, this area is where you will want to head in the early hours to finish your night out. Plus check out their 2 for 1 drink promotions Sunday to Thursday.

One of the oldest gay bars in Gran Canaria, Spartacus has a large outdoor terrace on the ground floor of the Yumbo centre, located next door to WunderBar. It's a mixed crowd here, one of the bars popular earlier in the evening.

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).

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.

Legendary on the Gran Canaria gay scene, Cafe Wien is best known as the pit-stop for weary beach goers heading home after a day on the sands. Located on the terrace on the top floor at the back of the Cita Centre and only open in the afternoons, you'll find a warm gay-friendly welcome, along with a chiller full of delicious German type cakes. Often very busy, but it's worth the wait for some of the best cakes in the resort.
