Small Spanish Village the Gay Marriage Capital of Spain

FAR from the hedonistic beaches of Ibiza or the disco nights in Barcelona, the tiny town of Campillo de Ranas — the Little Field of Frogs — is nestled in the rugged hills of Castilla-La Mancha, a 90-minute drive north of Madrid in Guadalajara province.

The place would appear to be the perfect setting of an open-air staging of “The Flintstones.” But first impressions can be deceiving. This small town, with around 60 full-time residents, most of them over 60, has in the last few years been transformed into the unofficial gay wedding capital of Spain. Full Story from the NY Times
