Gay & Lesbian Valencia

Like most cities along Spain's Mediterranean coast, Valencia has a thriving nightlife scene full of cafés, bars and clubs that cater to gay, lesbian, or mixed crowds. You'll find most of the gay community's favorites within El Carmen, especially around the Calle Quart and the Mercado Central (Central Market).

The Collectiu Lambda de Lesbianes, Gais, Transsexuales i Bisexuales (The Lambda Association of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals) publishes full listings of gay Valencia, which you can find at gay and lesbian nightlife hot spots or at the association's offices (Calle Salvador Giner 9).
