Members macdaddi Posted November 2 Members Share Posted November 2 Unclear what you consider to be the "sex venue" area? There are several small sex clubs around Laureles on 33 and 80 -- is that what you are thinking? There are plenty of options in the area, a cluster hotels in the Circulares around La 70 or also near the stadium Metro station on Calle47D.

12is12 Posted November 2 Author Share Posted November 2 Thx Macdaddi. Yes, I meant an area with sex clubs around. However, as a matter of course I studiously follow ur reports and updates. All the establishments u mentioned (for example in ur March thread) r in Candelaria, which isnt a nice area. If I missed a list of Laoureles sex clubs, pls point me there. Otherwise, perhaps enlighten all of us with yet another eye-opening update..... (-: Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members macdaddi Posted November 2 Members Share Posted November 2 Fair enough, I was writing specifically about the sauna scene, which is almost entirely en El Centro. Things change regularly so I haven't written about the sex clubs extensively so as not to send people to businesses that are no longer there. There are multiple sex clubs and gay-themed nights around Laureles. Some, like the private club at Avenida 80 at Calle 43 don't have actual names. (enter from rear door, yellow building on Calle 43) Others pop up and move around, like Spa Med 33. And there are mainstays like Sillon Rojo and La Casa del Gurú which host regular events. If you want to the very best private events, you should probably check out Angels Club, however they have an annual membership requirement. I would suggest asking politely about "eventos o parches gay" in popular bars like Chiquita, Happy, or Donde Aquellos. That should lead you down the rabbit hole of the inner workings of Medellín's gay scene. There are plenty of events that happen regularly in the old dancehall spaces around Centro-La Candelaría. You just need to meet someone who is plugged into that scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members macdaddi Posted November 2 Members Share Posted November 2 And to answer the initial question @12is12 related to El Centro hotels, the best hotel in that neighbourhood is Gran Hotel Medellín on Calle Caracas at Avenida Oriental.
