Torremolinos Gay Bars

Torremolinos is buzzing with a vibrant gay scene, all radiating from the iconic Nogalera Plaza aka the beating heart of the gayborhood. The vibe? Effortlessly chill. Most Torremolinos gay bars are all about breezy terraces, flirty conversations, and making new friends over cocktails.

There aren’t many events, but Chess Bar has drag nights, 3 Monkeys has weekday happy hours, and Baloo Bar hosts bingo. Unlike most other Spanish gay hubs, some of the bars close once a week, usually on a Monday or Wednesday. Torremolinos is a year-round destination, and while some bars have reduced hours, they’re all open.

There are two bars located at El Bajondillo Beach, 1km south of the gayborhood.

Torremolino’s gay sauna and cruise clubs are safe spaces, and door staff and security ensure that guests feel comfortable when entering.
