Known for its small yet dedicated gay community, Malaga in Spain is a popular gay summer holiday retreat with amazing beaches, attractions and a lively party scene.
You can find the heart of the queer community in two places, and the first is in the center of town, where gay bars like La Comedia and El Carmen Bar are within walking distance of each other. The second is a concentration of gay attractions to the south in El Romeral, with The Room Cruising Club and AQUA Club.
Malaga is a Spanish city located in the south with a unique cultural heritage with old streets in one part and a recent town in the west, resting along the elongated beaches of Costa del Sol taking full superiority of the warm Mediterranean Ocean.
