Gay Pride Sitges at Barcelona Pride 2010

Gay Pride Sitges took part at the official Barcelona Pride Parade on Sunday 28th June.

A huge thank you to those who took part and to all of those from Sitges who made the effort to leave the beach and head to Barcelona to support the promotion of both the Pride event and the town of Sitges itself, to the biggest audience possible, just a 30 minutes train journey away.

A special thank you to Luis Enriquez, President of AFGAL, The Markatu Band, the AFGAL Volunteers, Lady Diamond and Miss Ruby who yesterday were probably the most photographed people in Barcelona (even appearing in National Daily El Periódico), the staff of XXL and Hernan, Ivan and Victor from Parrots, whose costumes, energy and enthusiasm are an inspiration!

See you in Sitges for Pride in July, less than 2 weeks away. You can view all of the photos of the Pride Parade on Gay Sitges Guide’s gallery below. We had 4 photographers covering the event, so more photos will be added of the other floats during the week! Enjoy.
