“Whoever you love, Madrid loves you”. This was the motto chosen for the WorldPride 2017.
Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the first Pride protest in Spain, Madrid became this year’s WorldPride host, the most important event for the LGBT Community. So, I felt compelled to stay in the city and experience for myself what was going on during those days. In addition, it happened to be the 30th anniversary of the first celebrations held in the neighborhood of Chueca.
The Festival of Carthaginians and Romans is held in the city of Cartagena, located on the Spanish southeastern coast.
