Beaches
LGBTQ+
Gran Canaria is one of the top destinations for the LGBTQ+ community due to its good weather and cosmopolitanism. Numerous events like the Gay Pride in May, the carnival or newer events like the Fetish Week attract the community to the island again and again. Everyone can enjoy the open nature of island life and the diverse range of bars, clubs and, last but not least, the fantastic beach.
The Yumbo Centre with its numerous gay bars, cruising clubs etc. is about 15 minutes walk away.
The beach of Maspalomas with its famous dunes is about 40 minutes away on foot or easily accessible by bus. The gay meeting place Kiosk No. 5 and 6 (former No. 7) is also located here.
