LGBTQ-Friendly Spain Becomes Second Most-Visited Country |

In 2005, Spain became the third country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. Since that historic decision, the country has attracted an ever-increasing number of LGBTQ travelers year-round. With the largest gay pride in Europe taking place in Madrid, the gathering of more than 2 million is just one symbol of the openness that Spain offers LGBTQ residents and visitors. According to the Alliance for Excellence in Tourism (Exceltur), in 2017 Spain became the second most-visited country in the world overtaking the U.S. in number of tourists. Now Spain ranks just behind France, which receives more visitors than any country worldwide. Spain offers a diverse variety of destinations and adventures for visitors ranging from amazing beaches and breathtaking nature to fine gastronomy and cultural experiences. In addition, you can find countless LGBTQ-specific activities, events and programs all across the country and through the year. For more information on visiting Spain, please click here or visit the IGLTA website to explore all our members based in Spain.
