Gran Canaria is arguably one of Europe’s gayest destinations, with its capital Las Palmas boasting an impressive selection of gay bars and clubs. The Jumbo Center, undoubtedly the beating heart of the island’s gay scene, is a four-story shopping and entertainment center specifically catering to LGBTQ+ individuals. The Jumbo Center is where you’ll find Gran Canaria’s most popular gay bars, with venues catering to any traveler’s tastes. The Jumbo Centre is not the only place to find great gay nightlife, however, and the massive number of gay visitors who flock to the island each year has led to an explosion of gay bars and clubs throughout Las Palmas.
