Club Tropicana
Favoured by the city’s most fashion-forward girls who like girls, boys who like boys, and anybody who loves a great time.
Photos: Summer Camp by 60by80 July 18
It was a sizzling hot summer Sunday but that didn't stop the boys from raising the temperature a few notches more for the July edition of Summer Camp by 60by80. See the photos here.
Axel Hotel Barcelona
After a major renovation, it’s a bigger, more adult and grown-up Axel, though it hasn’t lost any of the sexual tension and playfulness that made it such a hit with single gay travelers.

Weather warnings were in place all weekend, but one thing was for sure: the sun would be out and we'd be in for a hot time at the pool this Sunday for the second Summer Camp by 60by80.
Sky Bar by Axel
The venue is agreeable enough and there’s always something going on, but it’s during the summer months that the Sky Bar by Axel rules.
Disturb, please. New and improved.
The original gay boutique hotel, it has always been a far shout from your typical homo hostel and B&B, but we’re quite delighted that Axel has now had some work done. Major work. Like Demi Moore-major.

Jacques Henri Lartigue: A Floating World
The carefree world of French photographer Jacques Henri Lartigue, one of the founders of modern photography.
Abac
Plenty of drama for the city's top restaurant of late, but with gastronomic prodigy Jordi Cruz taking over the reins, the restaurant's well-deserved stellar reputation should be safe.
El Balcón de Aquiles
A relatively new Raval neighbourhood favourite, not least thanks to its popular Wednesday early evening aperitif.
New Oven
With its slick design, ambitious cuisine and muy cool lounge bar scene, this may be a winner for a drink in the company of straight late twenty-thirtysomethings.
