Barcelona Circuit Festival 2014

December 10, 2013/in Barcelona/by keith@gaysitgesguide.com

Europe’s biggest gay event, the Barcelona Circuit Festival 2014 returns in August.

The 2014 event will take place from the 6th to the 17th of August and will include the legendary pool parties, top international DJs, circuit parties, cultural events and more.

The 2013 event attracted more than 70,000 people to Barcelona and Sitges with many people staying in Sitges for the beaches by day and then heading to Barcelona at night.

We recommend that you book your hotel well in advance for this event. The Eixample Area is the best place to stay in Barcelona close to the heart of the gay bars and clubs.

We also have some great apartment options in Barcelona. An apartment can offer you even greater flexibility and is perfect for groups of friends visiting the city looking to share costs and have more space.

Gay Barcelona to welcome the Pope…with a kiss!

October 24, 2010/in Barcelona, Events/by keith@gaysitgesguide.com

For those of you who care, the Pope will be visiting Barcelona on the 7th of November. Now we generally don’t get involved in causes or politics, sticking instead to tourism and promotion, however this event is something we think deserves attention.

In response for the Pope’s vehement anti-gay stance, a group know as “Queer Kissing Flashmob”, will hold a mass kiss-in when the pope leaves the cathedral on the 7th of November. How ever will he contain himself!

For those of you who will be in Barcelona and what to show your support for your right to kiss whoever you want, then visit the official Facebook event page or the official blog. See you on the 7th of November.. and bring your lip balm!
