You can find a gay sauna in Valencia in a manageable but fixed number. Unlike in Sitges, where sauna life hardly plays a role, it is part of the normal part of the scene in Spain's third-largest city. The Olímpic sauna is particularly well-known, which extends over two floors with a steam bath, whirlpool, bar, cabins and cruising areas. Most of the houses are centrally located and are open during the day and in the evening, and admission is within the usual range of Spanish saunas.
In addition to the indoor saunas, part of the action takes place outside. In some sections, the old, now green riverbed of the Turia, which runs right through the city, is considered a cruising area, as are some of the beaches north and south of the city. In summer, the long beaches of Malva-rosa and Patacona also attract a gay crowd, while the natural beach at Pinedo, south of the city, is considered more relaxed and quiet. Anyone looking for this should observe the usual rules on discretion and consideration, especially because much of it takes place in semi-public space. Saunas and beaches complement each other here instead of replacing each other. The following tips will show you where it is worth visiting.
