Yumbo Centre | |||||||||
|
In day time, Yumbo Center is nothing more than a tourist trap, offering cheap souvenirs, clothing and other stuff you don't need to old people from Germany and Scandinavia, too old to bake in the sun all day. But at night, Yumbo transfers into the center of gay nightlife! In recent years the number of gay bars, shops, cafes and restaurants had been increasing, with many new, exciting places to explore.
Starting off For dinner, Yumbo offers a scala of gay owned restaurants, where you can have cheap and rather decent food. And mostly, the menu is there for you in your native language!
The bars Then, around 11 at night, most people sit down at one of the terraces on one at the big gay bars on the ground floor for a beer and some entertainment. Everynight, Ricky's Cabaret Bar hosts a very popular karaoke show, followed by a drag queen comedy show. Bar Junior has live strippers on its terrace (beware of some hard object in your neck...). Real tough guys (and often the younger ones) go to the Construction bar to have a beer, while the older Germans massivly run into the Na Und Pils Bar next door. Between midnight and one, people move up to the second floor to hang around some bars for drag performances, German and Dutch schlagers (Macho Macho), some darkrooms (Cruise) and a lot of cheep Spanish beer.
Dancing After one, most of the young people are off to the video bars at the top floor like Mykonos and Tubos. To finish the night of, the dancing crowd ends at club Mantrix or in weekend to Heaven, the Gran Canarian branch of the famous London club (which attracts a lot of local straight boys as well). On the other side of Yumbo you'll find club XL until the late hours, only to be filled really in the early morning.
There are some bars outside the Yumbo Center. At the Avda de Tiranjana, a 5 minutes walk from Yumbo, you'll find a club called Reds, next to a new and trendy gay owned restaurant called Mundo. CITA is a smaller commercial center south of Yumbo and features also a couple of bars in the basement, as well as a TImE off Gay Fetish Club by Romeo & Julio men's sex club. However, this area does not attract as many gay visitors as the Yumbo, the ultimate symbol of straightforward gay pleasure.
