We have lot of content on Madrid including ‘ Everything you Need to know about Madrid Pride’ and ‘ The Best Gay Bars in Madrid’. In 2017 Madrid hosted WorldPride and hit a staggering attendance of 3.5 million people – bearing in mind that the population of Madrid is 3.2 million this is insane! It therefore comes as no surprise that Madrid is home to one of the biggest pride parades in the world and one that we got to be part of! We love Madrid and lived there for 7 months in 2018 – it was the most open, welcoming and LGBTQ inclusive city we have ever been to.
