Planning a gay vacation to Barcelona, Spain is becoming easier today as Barcelona that has always enjoyed a reputation for being a vibrant as well as gay oriented city has much to offer to everyone including to gays. There are in fact certain parts of Barcelona that attract many gays but the people of Barcelona are open-minded and so gays are accepted in all parts of the city.

However, if you are looking to get more out of your gay travel to Barcelona you will do well to check out one area in particular and that is the one called Eixample which is fondly called gayxample. This part of Barcelona can rightly be called the heart of gay Barcelona though at the same time it must be said that this area is not entirely populated by gays.

For more gay action you must ensure that when you make your plans for a gay holiday to Barcelona  that you look for one place in the city that is very gay oriented. This place is called Eixample or more popularly it is known as gayxample.

It is here that gays find a lot of reason to be excited as there are numerous clubs and bars as well as accommodation options catering solely for gays. Of course, there are many straights too that live here which only exemplifies the open-minded nature of the population of Barcelona.

Another option for the gay person is a place called Sitges which though not in Barcelona is close enough to Barcelona and which is a great place for those who want gay action.

Barcelona offers very good accommodation for gays and this means that you can find a gay flat or even gay apartment for rent while for those who want to find something cheaper there are gay hostels that offer good accommodation. In addition, you will also find some very exciting gay clubs though most of these bars, clubs and accommodations are only available in Eixample.

Sitges is not exactly in Barcelona but it is not far from Barcelona and is a very pretty town that too has much to offer to gays. The beaches in particular have a lot of gays here and in fact they account for 30 percent of the entire tourist population in this part of the world.

To sum up, there is a wealth of gay oriented places in and around Barcelona and there is also the excellent and interesting annual film festival catering solely to the gay community (Gay and Lesbian film festival) that is held in Barcelona each year in the month of October.
