Catalonia, an LGTBIQ+ friendly destination Catalonia has pioneered many issues regarding the LGTBIQ+ community, pursuing their rights and better inclusion within our society. On the other hand, this has allowed the development of a good offer linked to this movement. Catalonia has become a European reference in the acceptance of diversity. There are many tourists from the LGTBIQ+ community who are looking for a destination that has everything. Sun, beach, mountains, festivals, enjoying a good restaurant, clothes shops, or celebrating important events are some specific offers dedicated to you. The most important thing is that in Catalonia, in any activity you want to do or any place you want to visit, you will be welcome regardless of your orientation or sexual identity. Catalonia is a land of tolerance and acceptance. You will find parties, a good atmosphere, sun, fashion, culture, and tranquillity. Barcelona, the gay capital of southern Europe As a modern and cosmopolitan city, Barcelona has become one of Europe's favourite destinations for the LGTBIQ+ community. The city is open to everyone and offers a wide range of activities. And it does so throughout the year, with attractions to enjoy during summer and winter. Barcelona is a city that does not stop, that never sleeps. The Eixample Esquerra neighbourhood concentrates much of the city's offer for LGTBIQ+ tourism in the area between Carrer Aragó, Balmes, Urgell, and Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. It is known as Gaixample, a space where you will find bars, restaurants, nightclubs, shops, hotels, or hairdressers aimed at the LGTBIQ+ community. However, anyone can enjoy its cheerful, respectful, and fun atmosphere. It is easy to spot the rainbow flag hanging from balconies and shop windows around this area. It is a neighbourhood with a strong personality and is busy with activity day and night. But Barcelona offers much more than the Gaixample to the LGTBIQ+ tourists. In almost all city neighbourhoods, you will find welcoming bars, beaches, and areas where part of the community tends to gather. You will also find other establishments dedicated to the community, such as bookstores and events like Mostra FIRE!!, Barcelona's LGTBI film festival. Events like the Pride Parade and the Circuit Festival take place between June and August and are two of the most popular events. Thousands of people come to Barcelona yearly to have a good time in this fun and festive atmosphere. Sitges, LGTBIQ+ tradition But beyond Barcelona, if one place in Catalonia stands out for its LGBTIQ+ tourism offer, it is Sitges, on the Costa del Garraf. This small village by the sea, which retains some of its maritime essence, is the ideal place to enjoy a break with a relaxed atmosphere during the day and an intense nightlife. Beyond its great cultural heritage sites, Sitges stands out for its fantastic offer for LGBTIQ+ tourists. On some of the beaches, there are regular meeting points for the community; there are also nudist coves that stand out for their privacy. The town celebrates the Pride Parade in June, and February is the month of a great Carnival Parade. This popular event attracts thousands of visitors every year. Other remarkable places on the Costa Brava and the Costa Daurada, such as Lloret de Mar, Figueres, Salou, or Tarragona, also have a wide range of spots, bars, and restaurants for the LGTBIQ+ community, especially during the summer season. But anywhere in Catalonia, you can enjoy your holidays with the tranquillity and comfort of feeling accepted for who you are and who you love.
