It's no wonder that gay boys migrate here in their numbers every year, particularly from the USA and the UK. We've been coming to Spain religiously every year since we came out as baby gays many many moons ago…! We love it here – not only is Spain one of the most gay friendly countries in the world, but almost every big city has its own gay scene, complete with fantastic gay events – like Madrid Pride (one of the largest Pride events in the world), Barcelona's Circuit Party (the biggest international gay festival in the world), and the Sitges Bear Week every September (one of the best bear events).īut what we love most about Spain is that society is so welcoming to its LGBTQ community.
