  • In summer, gay men gather for some sun, fun and plenty of posing in front of the Club de Natació Barcelona on Barceloneta beach near Plaça del Mar.

  • Opening from midnight onwards, this huge venue has three spaces, which offer dance and Latin music and a cocktail lounge. Regular live music includes some of the best up-and-coming acts in Europe.

  • This smooth little cocktail bar, founded in 1933, continues to mix the meanest martinis in town for an elbow-to-elbow crowd.

  • A four-screen cinema showing mainly European films.

  • Before hitting the clubs, get fired up on caffeine or cocktails at this café-bar, full of antiques from the former Yugoslavia, birthplace of the original owner.

  • A sleek, 1970s-styled bar with leatherette couches, Café Royale attracts gay and straight drinkers who come to sip cocktails and enjoy eclectic tunes from Duke Ellington to techno.

  • Barcelona’s cabaret tradition lives on at this theatre-bar, with its flamboyant shows and espectacles of mime, magic and flamenco.

  • A bit off the beaten track, but worth hunting out, this authentic Spanish eatery offers an excellent selection of tapas.

  • Cañota’s superb, traditional, and supremely economical cooking includes excellent game dishes. This place lives up to its phenomenal reputation.

  • The “Guitar House” is always crowded and noisy. If you can play, join the enthusiasts and would-be flamenco players who pick guitars off the wall and have an impromptu jam session. Curious but wonderful.
