Is Torremolinos or Benidorm the Gay Capital?

While Benidorm has a sizeable gay scene, Torremolinos reigns as the liveliest gay destination on the Costa del Sol. Its pride parades and festivals, such as Circuit Festival, attract revellers from across Europe. Torremolinos also boasts over 30 gay bars and clubs, many open until the early hours, perfect for dancing until dawn under the Spanish stars.
