Parade Route

The parade route is very straightforward, it progresses along a 2.2km length of the famous Paseo del Prado, straight ahead at the Fuente De La Cibeles onto Paseo de Recoletoe before ending at Plaza Colon.

There is normally then a huge party in the Plaza Colon, where a stage is set up with live music acts performing late into the night. There will also be stages set up in Plaza de Pedro Zerola, Plaza de Espana, Plaza de Callao and Plaza del Rey.

TV & Streaming

There is likely to be TV coverage of the pride parade by the local stations, many of which also provide online streaming options. We will provide links here as and when we locate them.

Hotels and Accommodation

Madrid at the beginning of July will be warming up nicely and this is one of the more popular times of year to visit, before the main summer heat hits, so we recommend booking your accommodation well in advance. The city will be particularly packed during the main Pride events.

You can check availability and make reservations for local hotels here.
