With plenty of Pride parties to choose from - but with tickets for some of the larger parties selling for over €100 - the smaller Madrid clubs quite rightfully got a good look in too.

Strong is probably best known as having one of the largest dark areas in Europe. Even though your trusty REALPride reporter couldn't possibly confirm if this is the case or not, the club was well worth a visit whether or not shuffling around darkened corridors is your thing. Busy from midnight-ish until well after we sidled off, the music was good, the vibe was good and the drinks weren't overpriced which was a relief.
