The dates for Madrid’s Gay Pride 2011 have been announced. Recently chosen by the viewers of MTV as the best Pride in the World, the event takes place over a 2 week period with a series of social, cultural and dance events, culminating in the Gay Parade, which takes place on Saturday the 2nd of July, followed by the Madrid Gay Pride Festival, which takes place on the city’s leafy Plaza de Espana, from 6 pm into the evening.

The event, which attracts over 1 million people to the city for the parade is now one of the biggest tourist attractions for the City of Madrid. It makes national and international news.

It is also a firm favourite with Kylie…. who was given a special Madrid-style tribute at her last mini concert in 2010.

To get a true expericence of what Madrid Pride is all about, check out the video by the stunningly beautiful Raffa Martin as he seduces boys on his tour of the parade. If this doesn’t convince you to visit us in Madrid..nothing will!
