Yumbo Centre

The place in a few words

During the day, Yumbo Centre is a fairly ordinary open-air shopping centre spread over several floors, with shops, restaurants and terraces. After dark, it becomes a major hub of gay nightlife in Maspalomas. It's not exclusively gay, but many of its bars cater to LGBTQ+ visitors, alongside clubs, drag shows and cruising venues.

What we loved

Let's be honest: Yumbo is a little kitsch, and it's not exactly the prettiest place around. But that's part of its charm! We like wandering around without a plan, getting lost between floors, stumbling upon unexpected bars and exploring the different atmospheres. Whether we're out for a drink, a show or to meet people, we always find somewhere we enjoy.

Our tip

We suggest arriving in the early evening, as the centre starts coming to life, to scout out the bars before the night gets going. Make time for a drag show: it's a great way to enjoy Yumbo's playful atmosphere! Check the events calendar too: during Pride, Halloween and other celebrations, the central square sometimes hosts stages and outdoor performances.
