Our Home is Your Home for Our 2025 Madrid Tour

Madrid is the best city in the world—but we would say that, we live here! Join us for 7 Days in Spain – Madrid, Toledo & Segovia from September 18-24, 2025, and let us show you why. Stay in a gay-friendly hotel in the heart of Madrid, explore the city’s history with David, and see Picasso’s iconic Guernica painting at the Reina Sofia Museum with our local gay guide.

As night falls, we’ll take you for a Spanish Drag Queen show over dinner, then set out into Madrid’s (in)famous gay nightlife on a—guaranteed to be eventful—bar crawl in the gayborhood. We’ll also visit Toledo, a stunning medieval city and former Spanish capital, and Segovia, home to a legendary Roman aqueduct, a fairy-tale castle, and some quirky traditions—you’ll have to see to believe! In Spain, we like to say, “Mi casa es tu casa”, and this October, our home is indeed yours. Read our reviews here.

Gay Travel Guide to Sitges

Sitges is a small Spanish town with a big personality, located just forty minutes by train south of Barcelona. On one hand, it exudes the quintessential beach-town vibe, with the typically Spanish white-painted buildings, windows framed in bright blue, and an impressive church perched on a rocky outcrop along its seafront. On the other hand, it boasts a gay scene to rival cities twice its size, featuring a variety of gay bars, cruising spots, and shops offering the usual gay paraphernalia like bum-bolstering speedos and sexy jockstraps. Sitges isn't exactly the place for sightseeing, but rather a spot to escape the humdrum of city life, tan among other beach hotties, and dive into its lively nightlife or one of its many annual festivals and street parties.
