Pride showed its flamboyance and macho splendor on the exotic Canary island of Gran Canaria, Spain.

Above: Ahoy, sailors! Costumed revelers enjoy the perfect weather.

Topping the list of one of the more exotic places to experience Gay Pride, Gran Canaria is by area the third largest and by population the second largest of the Canary Islands. One of the seven main Spanish Canary Islands, Gran Canaria sits off the west coast of Africa, less than a 100 miles from the Sahara, so it enjoys summer-style sunshine all year round. Miles of golden-sand beaches (and famous Maspalomas sand dunes), beach weather all through the winter, dozens of gay bars, restaurants, shops, and clubs, most situated side by side in two large commercial centers in Playa del Ingles, are also part of Gran Canaria. The men of the Mediterranean are perhaps the main attractions here, but the island has so much more to offer. Click here for more info.
