Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria is the year-round sunny destination of the queer community, because thanks to its location off the coast of Africa, the climate is pleasantly mild even in winter. Here, everything revolves around the Yumbo Centrum, a multi-storey shopping centre that turns into what is probably the densest gay nightlife in Europe in the evening, with countless bars, drag shows and clubs. During the day, you will be drawn to Maspalomas beach with its spectacular sand dunes, behind which you will find the famous queer beach section and the nudist zone. The neighboring Playa del Inglés offers more hotels and promenades. Feel free to plan your trip around Winter Pride in November or Carnaval in February, when the island celebrates its biggest queer festivals. Gran Canaria convinces with relaxed price levels, short distances and a scene that lives all year round.
