Around Lisbon you can find many beautiful beaches. The best gay beach is south of Costa de Caparica, 15 kilometers south of Lisbon. Behind the beach is a very large cruising area; usually very crowded from 4pm.
The gay neighbourhoods of Lisbon are Bairro Alto and west of it, Principe Real. Here you can find many nice bars, clubs and restaurants. As night-life starts late, first enjoy delicious food and wine in one of the traditional restaurants in Bairro Alto. Then move to one of the cafés or bars for a drink and meet new friends. After midnight clubs start to live up and the night crowd find its way to the clubs and bars. Lisbon has grown famous for its night-life. It has that well-siesta-ed Mediterranean vibrancy, where things are only just getting started at 2am, and the bars stay open for, well, nigh-on forever.
The Friday and Saturday night in Lisbon begins at midnight in the Bairro Alto. After dinner, the guys go to one of the many bars.

It is a mix place, specialy down-staires, don't miss it. You have to take a cab to go to Lux, it's not in the neighbourhood of Bairro Alto. If u are addicted to clubs and have much energy to spend, go to Kremlin afterwards . The real gay clubs are Trumps or Finalmente.

photo by NighttoursSevilla is a beautiful city in the south of Spain. There are many historic buildings, museums etc. The gay night-life happens mostly in the weekends. In summer it can be very hot here, if you are not used to that try to avoid to travel then. Sevilla makes a great combination with Granada and Torremolinos for example.
