Category: LGBT May 5, 2017

World Pride Madrid 2017 is drawing nearer, and this city is one of contrasts. It’s a city that changes from street to street and neighbourhood to neighbourhood. I’ve set myself the singular task of acting as a zone-by-zone guide to the essential spots in Madrid that you simply must visit. Hot on the heels of the LGBTI-Friendly Guide to the Salamanca Distrcit, today I want to familiarise you with the ins and outs of one of the coolest, most diverse and cosmopolitan neighbourhoods that make up contemporary Madrid’s rainbow belt.

Madrid’s characterful old bars and tabernas are monuments in their own right. These living, breathing, drinking time capsules are as much a part of history as they are an enduring feature of daily life.
