The Parade of the 32 Maspalomas Pride by Freedom floats that flooded the main avenues of Playa del Inglés with music, dance and fun, which became a massive party to demand freedom, equality and respect for all the identities of the group LGTBIQ+. The Local Police of San Bartolomé de Tirajana estimated that the influx exceeded 70.000 people.
With a temperature of 27 degrees, the multicolored journey started at 17.00:XNUMX p.m., led by trans families and minors from the Crysallis Canarias Association, carrying flags, caps and t-shirts, with the motto 'Trans childhoods exist and persist', to claim the respect for diversity and sexual identity of young people.
Like every year, thousands of people of different nationalities paraded through the streets of Maspalomas, proudly wearing the colors of the rainbow, the emblem created to defend tolerance, in addition to the hundreds of flags that waved on the balconies of hotels and apartments, throughout the entire march. The large Maspalomas Pride fans helped combat the heat during the tour, which culminated in the Yumbo, where more than 50.000 people were waiting to continue the party until dawn.
The multicolored procession proceeded normally, thanks to the good organization of the parade, which started to the rhythm of a batucada. The floats decorated for the occasion displayed messages of protest, which transported more than 3.000 people, who did not stop dancing until the end of the route.
'The Pride that moves the world', was displayed on one of the parade floats. Muscular bodies paraded through the streets of Maspalomas in skimpy swimsuits, with leather clothing, tans and stylized beards. The lesbian community demonstrated with bikinis, heels, short-sleeved shirts, dresses and tops decorated with the colors of the rainbow.
At night, the party continued at the Yumbo Shopping Center, the epicenter of Maspalomas Pride, which became a large dance floor, to enjoy the performances of Delisiah and the singer Soraya Naoyín, in addition to the music selected by the DJs Joseph Wolf (Colombia), José Lagares, Esteban López, Marc and Rashad Miraz.
