Castles, Cocktails and Caballeros: This is Madrid!
We fell in love with Spain when we first visited over a decade ago—so much so that we decided never to leave! Let us show you why on our 7 Days in Spain – Madrid, Toledo & Segovia, from September 17–23, 2026.
David will take you on a historic tour through the gorgeous city center. A gay Spanish guide will show you around the spectacular Reina Sofía gallery (home to Picasso’s iconic Guernica), and our local guide will introduce you to the debaucherous delights of Chueca, the local gayborhood. There’ll also be a Spanish drag show, more city exploration, group dinners at the best restaurants, and plenty of tapas. We love our neighbors too, so there will be two day trips to nearby old-school Spanish cities—each with their own distinct personality and iconic sights, like a Roman aqueduct and medieval castles.
Oh, and we’re easy! As in, we welcome guests from all walks of life—be they solo travelers, couples, throuples, or groups. Just like our city, we welcome everyone! So, get yourself over to our home city and let us share our love for it with you.
