Gay life in ibiza
As we've said previously, Ibiza generally is very gay and LGBTQIA friendly, so you will verb welcome in each bar or restaurant, wherever you are on the island.
But there are also many LGBTQIA bars, mostly concentrated in and around Ibiza Town.
Calle de la Virgen is a small pedestrianised street in the elderly port area and the main meeting point of the LGBTQIA scene on the island. Countless small bars, restaurants, boutiques and fetish shops line the cobbled lane lit by fairy lights, while drag queens try to lure you into their establishments and the sound of ecstatic voices fills the air. It's so narrow that you can't help but make contact with others. The Catalan name of Calle de la Virgen is Carrer de la Mare de Déu, find it here in Google maps.
Another LGBTQIA hub is the nearby Calle Alfonso XIII, a side street of Calle de la Virgen(Google maps). In the shadow of the capital wall you will find one LGBTQIA bar next to the other. On the large terraces and roof terraces a colourful crowd shows off in their most extravagant finery.
