How has Gran Canaria become one of the most important gay resorts in the world? Maybe because we offer what your everyday tourist normally looks for, along with something else; an attitude of “live and let live” that makes the Grancanarians an open and welcoming people.
The Yumbo Shopping Centre at the Playa del Inglés is not in itself a gay world, although it is considered throughout Europe to be one of the major gay night spots. During the day, this shopping centre is a popular place to find great bargains and buy articles specially adapted to the LGBT community. And as night falls, it turns into the gay night hot spot in the Playa del Inglés. But first you need to build up your energy. The fine weather allows you to sit out at a terrace bar for your evening meal, in the company of other tourists of all possible nationalities imaginable.
