Chueca is more than just a neighborhood in Madrid — it’s the beating heart of Spain’s LGBTQ+ life. For years, our streets have been a place of celebration, diversity, and community. But we don’t want to look only inward. We believe that what makes us strong here can also connect us with others abroad.
That’s why we’ve created Gayplomacy: a space to build friendships with other LGBTQ+ neighborhoods and venues around the world. Our dream is simple — when someone from Madrid travels to Berlin, Athens, Buenos Aires, or anywhere else, they should know where to start, which places to visit, and where to feel at home. And the same for anyone coming here: Chueca is ready to welcome them.
We don’t know every LGBTQ+ corner of the world — and that’s where you come in. If you know a bar, a bookstore, a club, or a café that deserves to be on the map, we’d love to hear from you. You can write to us directly at info@pridechueca.com and share the details.
And if you’d like to go one step further, you can become an ambassador for your city or neighborhood. It’s not about titles or formalities — just about being the friendly face that helps us weave this network of connections.
Together, we can create a living guide that goes beyond borders: a network of friends, places, and stories that make the LGBTQ+ world feel a little smaller, and a lot more welcoming.
