Barcelona is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Spain and is often referred to as the New York of Europe. In Barcelona you have the sea at your doorstep and the mountains only a stone’s throw away. Its warm, sunny climate, amazing architecture and lively nightlife help to make it one of the Mediterranean’s most popular tourist destinations.

Barcelona was thrust into the limelight when it hosted the Olympic Games in 1992. A program of regeneration began and the results have made Barcelona the city it is today.

Barcelona is a dream city for gay and lesbian travellers and students. It has a thriving gay and lesbian community…

Barcelona’s gay scene is centred around the Eixample (pronounced ei-cham-pleh) district, or gayxample as it is known among the locals. Here you will find a lively gay scene with a wide variety of restaurants, bars, hotels and clubs which all cater for the gay community.

After a night of partying, you can head to one of Barcelona’s many beaches to cool off in the water or relax on the sand, enjoying the sunshine and watching the bronzed bodies go by.
