Alega is the LGBTI+ association for Cantabria, based in Santander at the Eureka space on Calle de San Simón. It has been running for over thirty years and is the organisation behind the city's Pride march.
For a visitor it is the most useful queer address in the region. It publishes a guide to LGBTI+ and friendly venues across Cantabria, which is the only current listing of the local scene worth having, and it gives out the annual Premio Aleguita to a venue in the city. Alongside that it runs youth, health and anti-discrimination work, and hands out a card with the emergency numbers for reporting hate crimes.
The phone number also takes WhatsApp. The association is part of the national FELGTBI+ federation, and its office shares premises with Eureka, a cultural space with courses, concerts and workshops.
