Part of the Canary Islands archipelago, this teeny unassuming Spanish Island, located just 93 miles (150 km) off the northwestern coast of Africa (between the Moroccon and Western Saharan waters). Gran Canaria is one of the gayest places in the world. Picture a 4-storey giant shopping centre full of gay bars, shops, clubs, drag bars, restaurants… basically, a colossal gay playground! This is the Jumbo Centre, the beating heart and soul of Gran Canaria's gay scene.
