Gaixample
The Gaixample (pronounced [ɡəˈʃamplə]; portmanteau: gai, Catalan for '"gay"', and eixample, "extension") is the nickname of a central area in Barcelona's Eixample district where, since the end of the 20th century, many gay shops, bars, discos and restaurants have existed. Many LGBTs have settled in this area of the Catalan capital, making it a mecca for LGBT tourists, mainly at night-time. The Gaixample is bordered by the following streets: Carrer de Balmes, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, Carrer del Comte d'Urgell and Carrer d'Aragó. Carrer Diputació between the streets of Aribau and Villarroel has a greater density of gay businesses. Rainbow flags can be seen sometimes in this area. Several gay-friendly hotels operate in the area.
