Gay Travel: Electric Biking in SpainApr 1st, 2012
Are electric bikes going to be the coolest new fad for European travelers? Forget the trains, cars, and regular old pedal bikes and hop on one of Hertz's new electric rental bicycles. Hertz recently began renting the bicycles throughout Spain, including in Granada, Almeria, Alicante, Valencia, Pontevedra, Alava, and Barcelona.
They didn't leave out the islands of Mallorca and Formentera either,... read_more Gay Friendly Costa del SolJan 3rd, 2012For a long, long time, Spain's gorgeous Costa del Sol, or "Sun Coast," was very, very quiet. Except for that business of the Spanish Reconquista pushing out the Moors in the late 1400s, this near-perfect locale changed little for more than a thousand years, its utterly tranquil Mediterranean coastline peppered only with tiny fishing villages, and nary a gay bar... read_more Spain's Costa del Sol is Really Gay FriendlyDec 17th, 2011It is something Americans do not hear often in Europe. I was taking photos of the bustling street scene outside the gay bars and nightclubs in Torremolinos, on Spain's famed Costa del Sol.
Two young Spanish men approached and asked me why I was taking pictures. I explained that I was a journalist from San Francisco and was writing an article... read_more GayTravel.com's Sexiest Cities ListDec 11th, 2011Here they are in no particular order....
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: It's no big surprise that Rio makes the list; the city plays host to one of the worlds sexiest events in the world "Carnival" which attracts over 750,000 sexy people to the streets of Rio. The second largest city in Brazil and the 3rd largest metropolitan area in all of... read_more Spain: Town Rejects Tourism Plan to Paint Buildings PinkOct 6th, 2011IT was set to be the first 'gay' village in the world. But, somewhat sensibly perhaps, the 'pueblo blanco' of Moclinejo (above) has opted to reject a much publicised plan to turn its streets pink.
The ambitious project - the brainwave of gay entrepreneur Javier Checa - involved painting all the village's 300 houses pink, changing the names of streets to... read_more Gay Barcelona: Gaudy With a Chance of MeatballsOct 5th, 2011
What springs to mind when you think of holidays in Spain? Flamenco dancers? Castanets? Lobster-red painters and decorators from Gravesend sleeping off the San Miguel under an imported copy of the Daily Mirror? Hold your straw donkeys, son! Barcelona has about as much in common with those traditional trips to the Costas as New York does to a sweaty fortnight... read_more Gay Travelers Invade MalagaAug 17th, 2011
The sun shines bright on this 90-mile stretch of Mediterranean seaside villages that has been--for nearly three millennia--the summer playground for Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Visigoths, Moors, and Spaniards. Here come the gays.
Every facet of Spain's culture seems to be firmly rooted on the Costa del Sol: Picasso isn't just celebrated in Malaga, he was born here; gazpacho isn't just... read_more Gay Travel: Grenada, SpainMay 19th, 2011Although it cannot boast having a gay scene to rival Madrid or Barcelona, and isn't an iconic gay destination like Ibiza or Sitges, historic Granada has distinguished itself over and above all of these places by becoming the first province in Spain to officially declare itself "gay-friendly."
Last year, specialist gay tour operators from 14 countries, including Brazil, Argentina, Russia, Poland,... read_more Subbetica Natural Park - Cordoba, Andalusia, SpainMay 1st, 2009
The Subbética is a district made up of fourteen white mountain villages in the southern area of the Province of Córdoba, in the heart of Andalusia. This privileged location means that the Costa del Sol and the cities of Córdoba, Granada and Jaén are no more than an hour away,and Seville can be reached in less than two hours. This area,... read_more Traveling in SpainJun 1st, 2009
I don't know whether to say buon giorno or buenos dias or bonne notte... I am so confused. But we are having a great time in Spain. Although I don't speak the language, even Frank's Spanish is either not understood or purposely misinterpreted, as he has not gotten what he has ordered in a restaurant, several times. We think... read_more
