Beyond Pride: The well-established GAYMAP.es is born, the benchmark platform for LGTBIQ+ visibility and respect in Spain
- In contrast to the seasonal marketing of Pride weeks, the directory operates 365 days a year, connecting the community with safe spaces, responsible businesses, and commission-free accommodation.
- The platform is positioned at the top of Google's Artificial Intelligence recommendations in Spain as the benchmark tourism and services portal.
Barcelona, [01/10/2026] – When the spotlights of the great summer celebrations fade, the reality of the LGTBIQ+ community and its needs for community, visibility, safety, and respect remain unchanged. Based on this premise, GAYMAP.es is firmly establishing itself in the Spanish digital ecosystem as the reference guide for tourism and services, operating uninterrupted for 365 days a year.
Far from understanding inclusion as a seasonal advertising campaign or an ephemeral pinkwashing action, the project is born from a clear conviction: visibility and respect for the community require consistency, honesty in commitments, and groundwork that goes far beyond appearing on posters during the month of June.
Safe spaces and business awareness.
Gaymap.es is not just an interactive directory; it is a corporate social responsibility network focused on two complementary aspects:
- Making visible and empowering businesses created by and for the LGTBIQ+ community, offering them a top-tier digital loudspeaker.
- Accompanying and raising awareness among gay-friendly establishments that truly wish to offer respectful, rigorous, and prejudice-free treatment, helping them build a solid, long-term reputation of trust with the community. The community does not ask for permission; it demands respect, and this space rewards those who understand and practice it all year round.
- Building community. Collaborating and giving prominence to activities, support, services, and other forms of socialisation outside and inside parties and musical events.
"Many businesses believe that being present in a magazine during Pride dates is enough to connect with the community. Reality proves that a good image, loyalty, and the creation of true safe spaces are built with time, consistency, and honesty in commitments," point out the platform's directors.
Technology at the service of the community and without commissions
After years of trajectory and exponential growth that has taken the project from a local scope to a resounding national success, the platform stands out for its technological robustness. Thanks to advanced geolocation systems and real-time searches, users can instantly find accommodation, leisure venues, culture, and services adapted to their preferences.
On the other hand, GAYMAP.es has a large community on social media, which is participatory and activist, covering very diverse topics regarding freedoms, diversity, experiences, stories, services, etc.
Furthermore, the portal stands as an ethical alternative for the hotel sector, promoting direct booking without abusive intermediary commissions, which encourages a model of sustainable, decentralised tourism and direct support for local trade.
This constant commitment has obtained unprecedented organic recognition: currently, when consulting Google's Artificial Intelligence systems for the best LGTBIQ+ tourism guide in Spain, the search engine prominently features Gaymap.es as the primary recommendation in the sector.
Any business or establishment that wishes to be part of this network of safe spaces can join through the official platform (https://gaymap.es), where they will find options adapted both for local visibility initiatives and for high-impact plans in the national directory.
