The Spanish Matinee Group famous

and around the world, now organise what has become the largest International
gay & lesbian event in the world. 9 days of parties, using over 30 DJ’s and
entertainment that is too much to attend everything, but have fun doing as much
you can. Barcelona

fantastic gay beach’s to relax and enjoy the eye candy during the hot daytime
sunshine. This amazing city along with the Circuit Festival parties makes an
incredible gay week of fun that really shouldn’t be missed. More info at: www.CircuitFestival.net
In the video below we featured 4 of our favourite things we enjoyed
most. These were:
1) Mar Bella Gay Beach
During the day the main gay beach
of Barcelona Mar Bella is
the place to hang out, soak up the sun and check out the boys. A good 4* hotel
to stay near the beach is Hotel Front Maritim.
2) Water Park
Gay Day
One of the main highlights of the festival was on Wednesday 5th
August when the Isla
Fantasia Water
Park was closed to the
public and turned gay wonderland. The water park opened at 10am filling up very
quickly, some of the worlds sexiest boys, dressed just a Speedo, enjoyed the
water slides, themed area’s, rides and main pool with the funky house tunes of
Matinee’s
best Dj’s: J.Louis,
Taito Tikaro, André
Vincenzzo, Enrico
Arghentini and Lydia
Sanz. 12 hours later the day finished with a spectacular fireworks show.
Then the party continued through the night in the water park’s massive theatre
complex. There were restaurants, chill areas and shower/locker rooms available
to rest, change clothes and enjoy a revitalizing meal. Most boys just stayed in
their trunks and danced till the sun came up, making an incredible day and
night to remember. And that was just 1 of the 9 days. Wow did we have a great
time, roll on next year…
3) Circuit Festival Main
Event Party
The main event was on Saturday 8th with a massive Matinee party at the Olympic Basketball Stadium (Pabellon Olimpico de Badalona).
DJ’s Enrico Arghentini,
Chus &
Ceballos; with live PA from Luca G. All this along with a massive stage production of
gogo boys and naked girls made the event totally unforgettable.
4) LaLeche Gay Beach Day in
Sitges
A
brand new daytime party arrived to Circuit Festival, breaking new ground: On Sunday 9th,
beginning at 1 pm, the most famous European fashion white party moved to L’Atlàntida Sitges, to
