Madrid looks to become top party destination in 2013

City's Pride celebration among the world's biggest

With 2012 over, it’s time to start planning your party itinerary for 2013. One option is Madrid, Spain, fast becoming the premier Pride destination in Europe.

Madrid’s Pride parade is one of the biggest in the world, with more than a million marchers every year. In addition to the parade itself, there are many cultural and political events. And, of course, there are the wild parties, like the one shown in the video below.

In 2013, Madrid Pride will be held July 3 to 7. In 2017, the city will host WorldPride.
