Santa Maria is a bar in the Raval with a running programme of queer culture rather than a straightforward drinks list. Recent nights have included drag bingo, a queer life drawing session with a model, and group exhibitions of queer art, one of them tied to the Barcelona Queer Film Festival.
The crowd is mixed and the bar leans into a playful, campy register rather than a cruising one. It sits close to the MACBA museum in the Raval.
