La Palma
This is a gay friendly island, but there are two specific LGBT centres. The historic neighbourhood of La Esquina in Santa Cruz de la Palma is a popular place for LGBT+ residents and tourists, and over recent years a small Pride event has been established at the beginning of July. The bar and restaurant atmosphere of La Esquina is open and diverse, and this includes the Cine Teatro Chico, which is mainly used as a cinema, but is also a centre of cultural interest. During May and July each year this cinema hosts a LGBT film festival with dates advertised locally and at the Cine Teatro Chico.
Los Llanos de Aridane has a popular queer bar and restaurant called La Luna that often hosts exhibitions and inhabit music, and also works closely with Cine Teatro Chico in Santa Cruz de la Palma.

About Gran Canaria, Maspalomas & Playa del Inglés
Gran Canaria is by area the third largest and by population even the second largest of the Canary Islands. It is geographically closer to Africa than to the Spanish mainland.
