Being Good ‘Bad Tourists’ in Barcelona and Sitges

They say three is a crowd, but a group is a good time - so why not join our 7 Days in Spain gay group trip on May 14-20, 2025. Together we’ll spend four nights in Barcelona and three in the gay-friendly coastal town of Sitges. This will also be the fourth time we've hosted this exact trip so we've perfected the itinerary and have curated all the best places to visit, restaurants to eat at, gay bars to sip cocktails at and more. We’ll take a dynamic range of tours through the city center, Gaudi Houses, Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell. By night we’ll introduce you to the city’s lively LGBTQ+ nightlife through drag shows and the best gay bars. On the second half of the tour we’ll relax in the picturesque coastal town of Sitges, where gay expats blend with the locals as if they were one of the same. 

SPECIAL OFFER FOR SOLO TRAVELERS

The price of the trip is $2,095 per person. Solo travelers who book by October 31, 2024 can also get a private room for the same price, with no single supplement.

Gay Travel Guide to San Francisco

San Francisco is an iconic city for the queer community, serving as a pioneer and battleground for LGBTQ+ rights. Filled with queer history, free-spirited vibes, and currently one of the top tech hotspots in the country, it welcomes a mix of travelers and dwellers that help create its diverse, come-as-you-are, laid-back attitude. Nowadays, its gay population per capita is one of the highest in the world. Though it may be the most expensive city to live in the U.S., it’s certainly at least worth a visit—though surely, you’ll want to stay!
