Madrid... From Culture to Sleaze and Pride inbetween....

Madrid is home to the biggest gay community in Spain. And as the country's capital, it is no suprise then that when the Madridlenos party, they do so on a gigantic scale.

From the huge pride parades in June and July to the Infinitea Festival which draws over 20,000 circuit boys to the city in July, Madrid is one big party town. There's a party for every type of persuasion... from Sleaze (Sleazy Madrid) to fetish (Intothetank.com) right through to Bears (they have a Summer retreat and a Winter Mr Bears competition), the events themselves are well organised and very well attended.

For those of you looking for something a little bit more authentic, then the Fiesta de San Isidro is the main festival in Madrid. Originally a religious holiday, it has now become a more mainstream event, however traditional parades and dances do take place. Huge firewoks displays take place in the evening as well as spectacular light shows as palaces and fountains come to life!

There are hundreds of festivals and events in Madrid, however we have listed the key ones below, with a specific emphasis on Gay Events in particular.
