We saw a record number of bookings over the past few days for next July after the Pride dates were announced so it looks like it is going to be an even busier event than last year.
Don’t worry, you can secure your hotel room now, save up to 30 percent on your room rates and best of all, you don’t have to pay until you arrive at your hotel!
The dates for the second Gay Sitges Pride have been announced. The event will take place from the 8th to the 12th of July.
The event, which attracted more than 60,000 people over the weekend this year, will be even bigger and more spectacular in 2011. The main parade will take place on Saturday the 9th of July.
The Gay Village will also return. The Village will be open for the entire 5 days of the event for 2011 along with the stage shows. Also, the bars in the village will be open for extended hours during the weekend.

Like all good things, Pride has come to an end.
And it came to a fitting end at L’Atlantida..
The club has never seen so many people dressed-up for a party before! Gaggles of drag queens (we think that is the term) mingled with circuit boys, tourists, locals, journalists, vips.. you name it.
The weather was perfect as the Mediterranean Breeze washed away the sultry heat from one of the hottest July’s we’ve seen in Sitges for a long time. It must have been all the hot bodies in Sitges last weekend.
And yes, of course there will be a Gay Pride Sitges 2011! AFGAL are working on the dates and they will be announced on the official Gay Pride Sitges Site soon.
We would like to thank all of you for your kind comments and emails over the past few days.
We would also like to thank the people of Sitges for embracing Pride and taking it to their hearts. It really was an entire Village occasion.
To all of those who dressed-up, you put some sparkle on the streets, that’s for sure.
To all of our advertisers, we hope that you received your fair share of visitors from the event and that your parties were a success.

To Doug at Hotel Parrots for all of the work, effort and patience in designing flyers, coping with guests and just keeping us sane!

Sunday night Jose Galisteo performed all of his hits live on the promenade.
The atmosphere was amazing as Spain had just won the world cup!
The entire town of Sitges gathered with local visitors to celebrate both the victory and the pride…. young, old, gay and straight all together having fun and dancing until 3am.
It was a perfect end to the Party on the Promenade.
Galisteo sang a range of songs from famous Spanish numbers to his international hits.
Aftewards the crowds danced to the disco beats, mixed by L’Atlantida supremo, Hector Noms.
A special thank you to all of the volunteers who worked the bar area. At times the queues were long, but everyone was served with a smile…
You can check out the photos of the concert and all of the events on Gay Sitges Guide below.
To say that the atmosphere in Sitges on Sunday night was “electric” would be an understatement.
We were in the centre of town when Spain scored the winning goal.
The streets went crazy, people were crying with joy, it was an amazing sight!
It was the perfect end to the perfect weekend.
After, it was off to the Gay Village where all of Sitges went to celebrate!
Check out the photos on Gay Sitges Guide below.
The Gay Pride T Dance took place on Sunday the 10th of July.
L’Atlantida is the perfect place for a beach party and although we missed many of our Spanish friends who were indoors for the football matches, the atmosphere was still electric.
Guys from all around the world danced ’till sunset.
Gaydar boys were out in force with presents for everyone.
L’Atlantida is located just 10 minutes from Sitges and a free bus from the Calipolis hotel leaves every 15 minutes.
The club is one of the few last remaining outdoor dance venues in Europe.
This year it was completely refitted with amazing lighting and sound fittings.
The L’Atlantida dancers have become a must-photo group when you see them touring the town on nights before a big event.
This August, L’Atlantida will host another special T Dance on the first weekend of August.
The official closing of the Circuit Party will take place at the club.
So perhaps we will see you in Sitges once more to dance until the sun-sets.
The party will kick off at 5pm and end at midnight.
A series of after-parties are also planned.
Check out the photos of the Gay Pride Circuit T Dance in Sitges below.
Saturday night during Pride and the Party in the Park took place at the Terramar Gardens.
Decadanse, the Party in the park attracted nearly 2,000 partygoers on Saturday night, with more than 1,200 on Friday night.
The Park, just 10 minutes from the centre of Sitges was transformed into a gay wonderland.
With a huge dancefloor and stage area including a live performance by the Gaydar boys and singers, it was the perfect place for those who like to party ’till 6am.
The other attractions were the foam in the fountain and the forest… yes the forest was unbelievably popular…
Decadanse will return to Sitges Pride in 2011..
It was one of the highlights of the Pride party circuit.
You can check out the rest of the photos on Gay Sitges Guide below.
The party attracted people from all around the world.
It was a great end to a Saturday which saw almost 40,000 people on the streets of Sitges for the Parade earlier on that afternoon.
Reports from hotels, shops and restaurants show that the weekend has been a huge success both from a visitor perspective and for businesses, introducing Sitges to a brand new group of customers.
Nearly 30 percent of tickets sold at the ticket office were to people who had never before been to Sitges. And all of them had one thing to say, “We will be back and next time, for even longer”
You can check out the photos of Decadanse – Sitges Party in the Park on Gay Sitges Guide below.
No, you are not on the wrong post, this was just a shot of Lady Diamond and Miss Ruby backstage at the Gay Village before they took their places to put on an impromptu performance before the election of Mr Gay Sitges.
The Paseo was packed with people from all walks of life, out to enjoy the fine weather and amazing shows throughout the weekend.
Even Miss Ruby was invited onstage, what a double-act!
The boys were hot but we really don’t think they knew what to expect!
Lady, as always was inspecting all of their assets.
Even ultra-butch-DJ hector was invited to participate!!! Much to the delight of the crowds.
The winner was chosen by popular vote…
We are waiting on more photos to come in from our reporters but here is one shot everyone wanted to see, Lady and Miss Ruby on stage together.
The competition for winner was high, as boys from Catalunya, Italy, France and Colombia battled it out to win the title and the prize-money.
The winner, Gio was chosen by popular vote…

Nothing was left to the imagination.
Mr Gay Sitges was followed by a series of different acts including Ivan Banderas.
