Parque de Dona Casilda (cruising)

Parque de Dona Casilda Iturrizar, the large landscaped park beside the Fine Arts Museum in central Bilbao, has a long-standing reputation as a night-time gay cruising area, mainly around the quieter paths and the pond and pergola after dark. This is an ambiguous, tolerated rather than official use of the space, and the park is busy with families by day. Exercise caution at night, be discreet and respect other visitors. Spain protects LGBTQ+ people in law.
