I presume you mean the Yumbo centre on Playa del Ingles that many refer to as the 'gay centre' there is some information here regarding this centre:-

http://www.cc-yumbo.com/ccyumbo/en/?gaycenter

The Yumbo center is like all the others in Gran Canaria. The top tier has quite a few eating out places. And a few small bars in it. The lower level is the same. But on the lower level here is a great bar(can't remember the name somebody will thought) it does a great drag act and is really funny. behind this there is a row of bars. This area tends to be visited by a lot of men. But we visited the yumbo one night and had a great time there.

You must visit the Yumbo centre, everyone is really welcoming and there is a very easy going atmosphere and some great bars. A great place for `people watching`. There is a big drag act bar in the middle which is hilarious.

Hi think the place you want is La Belle it makes for a fantastic evening :)I can guarantee you will have a fun packed evening there with great entertainment there is another one but I cant remember the name.Have Fun.

hi, la,belle it is top night out good fun and good atmosphere

Hi all im off to peurto rico next week. im an 18 year old lesbian and im wondering if theres any gay life? i no that playa d'ingles is major gay city does anyone no how much a taxi wud cost from peurto rico to playa d'ingles? i'd really appreciate it. or even the distance from PR to playa d'ingles? thank you xx

I would say that you are looking at somewhere around 15 euros by Taxi. If there are a couple of you it is a bargain. Not sure of what exactly there is in Puerto Rico, but you will find yourself most welcome in PDI. The Yumbo thrives til 3am with some bars going on til 6am on the upper floors there is a lesbian bar there - think its called Jackies bar. Drinks are a little more expensive there because it is a commercial centre, so make sure you try the Queen Vic, British Bulldog, Rangy and the Oul Triangle nearby. All are gay friendly.

thank you for the help 15 euros is cheap. im gonig with my sister so we will both travel up. where i live i pay 10 english pounds to get to our gay village so its not much more thanks x

hi zoe
i live in puerto rico and am gay myself so just to answer afew of your questions
you will pay 21 euros approx to go to the yumbo centre from here in puerto rico taking you approx 20 minutes
what i advise my guests to do is catch a bus up there and a taxi back but if your out till the early hours bus service starts back up at 6 am
also with regards to staying in puerto rico theres no gay bars here unfort
where you staying when you come here
¿?

we are staying in cal la dore or something. we come on thursday for 1 week. whats the weather like at the moment as we have heard its awful?

hello

I m a lesbian and need a holiday, no one to go with though as all my friends are working I am thinking 2nd June for a week in PDI I have been before but not on my own, would I look a fool at 39 sitting in a lesbian bar smiling

Hmm, i really think you ought to drag your friends out.. mind you... if you went alone, you would soon meet friends....

you find lesbian women everywhere, in clubs..... i know i've seen loads, not just in the yumbo......
All the other clubs as well, Gran Canaria is one of the most lesbian-gay friendly areas i've ever seen go for it.. and ENJOY youself!

I know I have been there many times, not sure if I have the bottle to sit there at the bar on my tod

I'm sure you wouldn't be alone for long! and come on.. who SITS there!

When are you planning on going?

Kate.

june 1st 3rd or 4th for a week or less

hello i went to the yumbo centre last year and it was great(it was soo funny i nearly wet my pants).

I would say the drag was the best they also have a sky jumper.

If you are addicted to red bulls take your own because red bulls in one place were £5.00 each!!!

if you need any questions answering on the yumbo centre please ask me, dont be afraid....

the only thing is if you have very young kids , at night you may see some gays kissing etc:(really bad)so just watch out.

After all the shows have finished you can get your picture took with them.They are very friendly.

You can do karaoke and maybe if you are in a pub early you may play some quiz or trivia games and sometimes you can win prizes at the end.

There are some shops that sell stuff(for cheap) and places were they braid your hair.Try to barter with them because it does work.

All the shows only come on kinda late about 11.00-11.30 as they did when i was there.You will not be able to go to the toilet in the middle of the show because they get changed in there but there are toilets outside the pub.

Taxis to there are very cheap and if you visit the yumbo at night it is most likely to be lit up and it looks fantastic.

There is a play area for the little ones and the floor is in sand.It is only little but it is good for keeping them busy.There is a bulldog ride and i think it is like 50p £1-00 ago.But it is really funny.

When you are returning home off your holiday and you get family presents the best place to go is the yumbo centre.There is this little shop and it sells:wines,ciggs toys and lots more.Plus they dont break easily.

I would reccomend you to visit at night as there is more attractions.But if you want you can go in daytime though it is just as busy in daytime as night time.

Overall the yumbo is a good day out and is worth every little penny.I would certainly go back there if i go back to gran canaria but i am goin lanzarote.

It is definatley 10/10 for me.

If i have not covered a question that you wanted to ask please just post a reply.

lots of love..xxcallyxx..
