Madrid is a city designed for all tastes and inclinations. Whether you’re gay, lesbian or bisexual, there are activities, bars, clubs, and places of interest for everyone to enjoy and share. Perhaps one of the best-known gay areas in the city is Chueca. This neighbourhood is right in the centre of Madrid, just off Gran Vía. It's a tightly compact area, actually two areas a short distance apart. The northern end of the neighbourhood is mainly the area of straight college students, but the central Plaza Chueca provides a vibrant mixture of heterosexuals and homosexuals.
A few years ago this neighbourhood was a dangerous area where drugs and male prostitution were rampant. However, Madrid's increasingly growing and affluent homosexual community has made Chueca one of the most fashionable and cosmopolitan areas of Madrid. Furthermore, the cultural diversity and variety of Chueca provides an infinity of leisure and entertainment options night and day. Chueca shines especially bright at night. In this atmosphere it is easy to see movie, music, fashion and theatre celebrities.
