Anyone wanting a night filled with fun and diversity, then a visit to the Yumbo centre is a must. Whilst mainly a prominently gay it offers a really friendly night out. If you go have a night an "Tina Sparkles Bar" . I have seen some shows but the drag queens and the staff and the funniest and friendly. Take... More

Except for the Yumbo that is. Dorothy clearly didn't have the right shoes on to party in, but if she had, this is where she would've come! There's so much to choose from in the Yumbo. You can do karaoke, have a bite to eat, have a dance, have a quiet drink or a do shots and dance until 6am!... More

This is a 1970's style place. All concrete on a couple of levels. Touristy shops during the day but a very 'Gay' atmosphere in the nightime with various shows and bars mainly from gay scene.

Visited here for Maspalomas Pride in May 2012. During Pride this place is just electric. Atmosphere is amazing. One thing you'll notice is that unlike the UK there are no arguments, no fighting, everyone is just there to have fun. A nice refreshing change. There are loads of bars of various types, lots of shops and lots of restaurants. It's... More

a few gay bars open during the day, just like walking round a shopping centre. be prepared to be constantly approached by the shop owners to look inside their shops. But at night, my goodness, at night the place comes ALIVE
