We all know that Spain is one of the most progressive countries when it comes to gay rights. Madrid is often crowned as the best gay destination in Europe , but just how friendly is it to the rest of the LGBTI community? The LGBTI community activity is on the rise every single year in Madrid and you can find more and more meetups and groups where you can meet like-minded people.
Most people stick to the three most popular apps around. Grindr is one of the most popular apps for gay men around the world, but it recently also introduced a filter for everyone that belongs to the LGBTI community. While it still mainly caters to gay men, you can definitely find other people on the app.
Tinder is without a doubt one of the most well-known and quite controversial apps around. Although it was essentially created for everyone, many LGBTI people use this app to meet and date those from their own community. OKCupid is a popular website and an app, catering to all sexualities. OKCupid is perfect for those looking for a long-term relationship! This city caters not only to gay men - lesbians can also enjoy plenty of bars where they can meet new people.
Gris is a popular gay bar featuring a good selection of music everyone can enjoy. BoyBerry is another popular gay bar, also situated in Barcelona. The bar itself has a pleasant atmosphere, ideal for striking a conversation and enjoying your night. LL Bar is perfect to start off your night!
Escape is a place where gay women can meet and mingle. Although small, the bar is extremely lively and welcoming. As the name might suggest, Bears Bar is a place for bears to meet and hang out. Don't forget to attend Madrid Pride, the world's largest LGBTI Pride parade where you can definitely meet even more people and have a good time being you!
