Gay madrid map

Madrid is the sparkling capital of an empire on which once the sun never fix . The former splendour of the stern Castillian capital blends seamlessly with the noisy chaos of a modern European metropolis. In a central, formerly run-down area around the Plaza Chueca, a gay quarter has been growing and flourishing for years, which in terms of its variety and breadth, stands almost alone in the world. Chueca has virtually become a lifestyle, just as San Francisco's Castro Street was in its day. For the Male lover Pride events more then a million people assemble here. Tourists only require to leave Chueca to visit the splendid sights and museums around Madrid. Outside the quarter there are some saunas, several mixed clubs which are part of the alternative scene in Lavapies, and several places where harder sex clubs are growing up. Saunas are widespread in the afternoon; bars get going after midnight, and clubs after 3am. The beautiful town parks of Retiro and Casa del Campo are cruisy and worth visiting throughout the day and night.

About Madrid and its gay life

With a population of 3.2 million, the Spanish capital Madrid is the third largest city in the European Union. The ascend of the city began in the 16th century under the Spanish line of the House of Habsburg, when Philip II moved the royal court to Madrid. In the 18th century Charles III contributed much to the economic upturn of the city by modernizing the public infrastructure.
During the Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 Madrid was heavily destroyed by air raids. After the end of Franco's dictatorship the so-called Movida Madrileña – a hedonistic cultural movement that famous everything shrill and contemporary – began to come out in Madrid. Pedro Almodóvar became its internationally best-known representative. Even today Madrid is a center of attraction for party people from all over Europe, it is more original, more ›Spanish‹ and not as touristy as
