Spanish Kings, Drag Queens & Endless Tapas in Madrid

Madrid is not just “tolerant” or even “accepting” of LGBTQ+ people, it’s positively welcoming! Honestly, walking through its streets it often seems like there’s more gay men than straight. And we’re lucky enough to call the city home. From September 18-24, 2025, we humbly invite you to see for yourself on our 7 Days in Spain – Madrid, Toledo & Segovia for a week-long bonanza of culture, history, nightlife and tapas! 

Prepare yourself for tours of the city seeing all the key sights. We’ll visit the spectacular Reina Sofia gallery, dine in authentic Spanish restaurants, attend a Spanish drag show, bravely venture forth into Madrid’s vibrant nightlife on a pub crawl in Chueca - Madrid’s spicy gay zone - and much much more. We’ll even venture out to the historically rich towns of Toledo and Segovia - each with their own distinctive personalities, cathedrals, castles and ancient histories to uncover. We love Madrid and, after visiting us, we’re sure you will too. Read our reviews here.
