On the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, this important city offers many attractions when it comes to summer leisure activities, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and culture. Travelling to Barcelona in the summer is a traditions for many northern European travellers, especially if they´re part of the LGBT community, for example. That´s because Barcelona also characterizes itself for being very open to sexuality and gender options; the gay and lesbian community has an important presence in Barcelona and that´s why there are many options to have fun in Barcelona to the LGBT rhythm. Here are some of the most interesting places for your next visit:
Sala Arena Madre: One of the hottest places for dance and euphoria. Arena Madre is a strictly gay place, with sensual dark rooms where anything can happen.
D-Boy Club: This club offers great electronic music, dim coloured lighting and an atmosphere that´s really worth experiencing. Recommended for select tastes, it can be a bit expensive but it´s worth it.
Discotheque: This club has been going non-stop since its opening in 2008. At Discotheque you can find the best theme parties on weekends.
El Cangrejo: This bar has two locations; one in the beautiful district of El Raval and the other in Eixample. If you´re looking for the best cocktails and the best company, you can find them both at El Cangrejo.
Metro: This popular club among the Barcelona LGBT community has been recently refurbished and it´s also very close to other gay-friendly bars. During the weekend, its two areas are open to dance freely.
Strass: A very popular bar among the younger crowd. At Strass you can enjoy strippers every Saturday as well as drag queen shows and performances during the whole weekend.
Of course, if you visit Barcelona and you want a bit more LGBT action, you have to visit the beautiful beaches of Sitges, a coastal town 25 minutes south of Barcelona, where you can find plenty of atmosphere and gay-friendly places during the summer. Sitges offers gay bars, restaurants and clubs with an exclusive service of the highest quality. Perhaps your best option is to stay in Barcelona and explore Sitges for a whole day until the early hours of the morning. In Sitges you can find hostels and hotels where you can stay overnight and then go back to the big city and carry on exploring. Be aware that Sitges also celebrates the Gay Pride during the early days of July. However, the activities for the LGBT community carry on the whole summer long and of course during the most part of the year.
