Gay Clubs and Parties in Madrid

Clubs in Spain usually don't get busy within the first 2-3 hours of their regular opening hours, then they are often crowded and packed till closing.
Note for budget travellers: Entrance fees often include 1 drink of your choice. To save money you could use the voucher for the more expensive drink you plan to have during the night. Also, flyers or passes can save you about 3 € and can be found in gay bars, cafes and shops.
