Madrid Gay Pride

July 1-6, 2009 (add-ons available)
6 days from $1999, if booked by Oct. 31

5 Star accommodations and over-the-top events!

 
 
 

With stunning plazas, impressive architecture, world-renowned museums, great restaurants, and an incredibly vibrant gay scene, Madrid has its finger on the pulse of everything cool at the moment.

During Madrid Gay Pride, hundreds of thousands of gay people come to Madrid to celebrate their pride in a magnificent setting with fellow gay travelers from all over the world!

Did you know that Spain provides one of the highest degrees of liberty in the world for its LGBT community? It is one of six countries that allows same-sex marriage and permits adoption by same-sex couples.

Gay Pride in Madrid is not just tolerated, but celebrated, and Zoom Vacations has done its research to make sure you get the most out of Gay Pride in Madrid. However, this is more than just a gay pride trip, but a cultural, sophisticated, and even gastronomic celebration of the Spanish experience.
