Adult Venues in Spain: Barcelona and Madrid

Barcelona is the larger of the two cities in our listings, with 21 listings. Thirteen are erotic massage salons and eight are gentlemen's clubs, so the city suits readers looking for either a massage or a night out at a club.

Among the venues with a map pin, most sit in l'Eixample, the grid of broad streets laid out in the nineteenth century. Single venues appear in Sants-Montjuïc and les Corts, both to the west of the centre. If you stay in l'Eixample you will have several options within walking distance, but compare the map on the city page before you settle on a hotel.

If you are new to this kind of massage, our page on erotic massage explains the style in general terms, so you know what to ask about before you get in touch.

Madrid has 11 listings. Nine of them are erotic massage salons and two are gentlemen's clubs, so the capital leans clearly towards massage.

Pinned venues are spread across several districts. Arganzuela, south of the historic centre, has two.

Chamberí, the Salamanca district and Chamartín have one each. These are residential and business areas north of the centre, so it is worth checking the exact address on each card and planning your route by metro or taxi.

Neither city currently lists a swingers club. Couples visiting either city will find the gentlemen's clubs and massage salons on the city pages.

Venues in both cities make themselves easy to reach. In Madrid, every card carries all three contact buttons: WhatsApp, call and website. In Barcelona, 20 of 21 cards have a call button and a website link, and 17 have WhatsApp, which is about four in five.

A few habits help the first message go well:

• Introduce yourself briefly and say which day and time you have in mind.
• Ask how payment works when you book, so there are no surprises on arrival.
• Check the address and any entry details before you set off.
• Keep your messages polite, plain and to the point.

Our guide on booking an erotic massage walks through the booking step in more detail. For an evening out, read your first gentlemen's club visit before you go.

The two city centres lie 506 kilometres apart, so travellers usually treat them as separate stops rather than a day trip. If your stay covers both, think about which kind of venue matters most to you. Barcelona has the wider choice of gentlemen's clubs. Madrid is the stronger stop if you are mainly interested in massage.

Contact venues in your second city ahead of time, rather than on arrival, and leave room in your plans in case your preferred time is taken. Choosing a hotel near the districts where pinned venues sit cuts down on travel once you arrive. That means l'Eixample in Barcelona and the districts north of the centre in Madrid.

Wherever you go, remember that every person you meet sets her own limits. Respect them, follow the house rules and treat staff with the same courtesy you would expect yourself.
