Spain is among the first countries in the world to allow same-sex couples to freely enjoy the legal rights of marriage, to adopt children openly and to be treated as equals on a level that the American LGBT community is still struggling to achieve. So it is a great country for gay tours. Because of this wide acceptance and legal equality, Spain is among the top choices for safe, enjoyable gay vacations. From the sexually-charged scene in Madrid, to the higher-brow LGBT culture of Sitges, there is a thriving community in every major city and many of the smaller towns throughout this country that offers breathtaking scenery, stunning architecture, rich culture and history, and wonderful year-round weather that makes any time a good time for gay vacations to Spain.

There are many must-see stops when traveling through Spain, including its most welcoming cities, towns and islands, such as Benidorm, Barcelona, Ibiza, Gran Canaria, Torremolinos, Valencia and Sitges. Most of these destinations for Spain gay tours have spectacular beaches and each offers an enticing nightlife and active community. Madrid is definitely the city of choice for travelers looking for a lively, over-the-top scene, while Gran Canaria and Ibiza provide for a more laidback beach vacation and Torremolinos and Valencia provide a good combination of beaches and bars. Barcelona is a welcoming city with amazing art, architecture and culture where travelers will find a plethora of bars, clubs, saunas (bathhouses), restaurants and other establishments that cater to both locals and tourists. This cosmopolitan city is among the gayest metros found anywhere in Europe and is home to a very visible, very active community. The LEixample neighborhood is home to many of the community establishments, but visitors will also not want to miss the Barcelona beaches and will certainly want to make a side trip to the south to visit Sitges, a seaside town that is a favorite among visitors on gay trips in Spain. To make the most of your gay vacations, consider traveling to Spain as part of an organized gay travel tour group, which will allow you to explore this fascinating country and all that it has to offer while making new friends and sharing your experiences with like-minded tourists. For folks who would rather explore Spain on their own, with their partner or with a group of friends, planning your Spain excursion through a well-known travel agency with experience arranging gay holidays to Spain is the best way to ensure that you will have a memorable experience that is both enjoyable and safe.
