July and August is definitely the peak season when it gets super busy, especially around the big gay XLSIOR festival. During the summer period (May to October), gay Mykonos comes alive and becomes one big fabulous gay mecca. Mykonos island is a place that is rich in history, culture and lots of partying. It's Lindsey Lohan's favourite place in the world for a reason… Other fantastic gay events to check out in Sitges include the Carnival in February/March, the International Bears Week in April/May, another Bears Week in early September and the queer International Fantasy Film Festival in October. With beach games, loud music, tons of drinks and queens in all shapes N’ sizes, Sitges Pride really delivers the true meaning of what Pride is all about. Sitges Pride takes place each June and is one of the best Pride events that a gay guy could wish for. Further out are a few gay nude beaches, like Balmins and Playa del Muerto. The main one is called San Sebastián, located right in the heart of town. Sitges also has some of the best gay beaches in Europe. These all converge outside to become one large fabulous street party every single evening.Ī few blocks away is the excellent El Piano gay bar, which is one of the best places to come for drag shows, cabaret nights, piano singalongs and bluesy singers performing. We always start a gay night out in Sitges at Parrots, then head on down the Joan Tarrida street where there are tons of bars like XXL, El Horno, La Cueva and Man Bar. It’s our favourite meeting spot as well as being the ideal place for people-watching, with chairs and tables facing the crowd passing by.

The gay scene of Sitges is vast and always buzzing. For decades it's been a famous LGBTQ mecca, full of many gay hangouts, all congregated together mainly along the Carrer de Joan Tarrida street.

It's a small coastal town, around 45 minutes train ride from Barcelona. Sitges in Spainįor us, Sitges is the numero uno gay holiday destination in Europe.
