REALPride review
The parade for Gay Pride Maspalomas 2009 in Gran Canaria was, as expected, hot, hot, hot! Despite the lower turnout for pride this year - presumably due to the bite of the credit crunch - the parade grew both in the number of entries and support from the streets.
After a cloudy start to the morning, the sunshine broke through and by the time every started to gather the atmosphere was fantastic.

Getting ready...
photos by Sam MilfordPutting together an entry for the parade is no mean feat... be it an outfit for a walking entry, or decorating a vehicle of some kind - work often starts months before the big day.
The Parade
photos by Sam MilfordIt didn't seem to matter that the parade was an hour or two late to start... it just meant more partying time on the back of the truck!

Offering a different perspective on the parade... some gorgeous photos from the amazing boat that was the Los Almendros Bungalow Resort float!
