Chueca[ˈtʃweka] is an area of central Madrid, named after its main square, Plaza de Chueca. It is known as Madrid's gay neighbourhood.[1] Plaza de Chueca was named after Spanish composer and author Federico Chueca. [2]
It is located in the administrative ward in the centralMadrid neighbourhood of Justicia.
Chueca is very lively, with many street cafes and boutique shops. Lonely Planet describes it as "extravagantly gay, lively young, and always inclusive regardless of your sexual orientation."[3]
In the later half of the 2010s, Chueca had become a centre for gay art. The Festival Visible which takes place every year during the Gay Pride, has included works by Jean Cocteau, Wilhelm van Gloeden,[4]David Hochney, Tom of Finland, Roberto González Fernández or David Trullo. Shows such as "De bares hacia la exposicion"[5] by Daniel Garbade in (2011) or the Illustrations : Chueca by Miguel Navia (2014) reflect through drawings and paintings the gay-neighbourhood.
