Your Barcelona Holiday: Excellent Food and Nightlife and a Vibrant Gay Neighborhood
By Bill Malcolm
Barcelona, Spain (and specifically the Eixample gay neighborhood) are perfect for a vacation. Restaurants, bars, transit, and more are within steps of each other and you can even walk to some of the main attractions. Keep at the Axel Hotel and appreciate the nightly events at the Sky Bar, make fresh friends at breakfast, work out at the huge gym, and more. Axel is an Homosexual hotel chain with hotels all over Europe and in Miami Beach. However, everyone is welcome there. Their motto is “we are hetero friendly.” Staff is very supportive with travel tips and things to do.
Barcelona is an LGBTQ+ city paradise at bargain prices. Its architecture is stunning. The people are well dressed, with interesting haircuts (very short on the side).
With the euro at par with the US dollar, drinks at a bar are just 5 euros. Enjoy a think of meal with wine for under US$25. Get the exceptional 5-day transit transfer for just US$20 (including from the airport).

The people are friendly, but you will have to adjust to t

Q: We plan to rent an apartment. Someone recommended Eixample rather than Las Ramblas or the Gothic Quarter. We are in our 50's and open-minded, but I include heard Eixample referred to as Gay-xiample. Are there certain parts of Eixample that are exclusively gay areas and where we might feel out of place? If so, which parts? We like shops, restaurants, bars and modernist architecture. Are there differences between Eixample Izquierda & Derecha?

I am aware of the nickname "Gay-Xiample" and other websites referring to it as such; however
