Gay & Lesbian Madrid
Much of Madrid's nightlife has a big gay input and gay men especially will feel at home in most of the listings in our clubs/ discotecas section. However, around Plaza Chueca, graffiti-plastered walls proclaim the existence of a zona gay , and the surrounding streets, especially c/Pelayo, harbour at least a dozen exclusively gay bars and clubs, as well as a café that's traditionally gay - the Café Figueroa at c/Augusto Figueroa 17. Wandering about, be aware that Chueca is also something of a drug centre, so taxis are best late at night. The lesbian scene, which is rather less developed, has a current focus in Lavapiés.
The main gay organization in Madrid is Coordinadora Gay de Madrid, c/Fuencarral 37 (Mon-Fri 5-9pm, Aug from 7pm; tel 915 224 517; Métro: Chueca), which can give information on health, leisure and gay rights. The Chueca website www.chueca.com is full of information about everything going on in the area.
