Barcelona Gay Pride Parade
- Saturday 17th July 2027- The Barcelona Pride march will start at 6 pm along the centre of the city and featuring almost 60 floats.
- Route – Leaving from Plaça Universitat, proceeding along Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, turning onto Passeig de Sant Joan, and finishing at Passeig de Lluís Companys, where the main stage and celebrations await.
- Tip – Best Views – Prime viewing is along Gran Via, between Passeig de Sant Joan and Passeig de Gràcia. Wide boulevard, elevated building facades, lively atmosphere. You’ll find partial shade toward the west end on Gran Via. Arrive by 17:30 to secure good spots near balconies or cafes.
