Is Chueca worth it with kids?

SkipWith kids

With kids, give Chueca a miss.

A polished, fun, fashion-forward district that's the centre of Madrid's gay scene and a great night out for everyone, peaking spectacularly during Pride in early July. The catch is it's primarily nightlife and shopping with no daytime sights, and Pride week is gloriously overwhelming.
