Seville is Andalucia's capital city. We suffer a pretty hot weather during Summer, but it's ideal in October.

City Bear Tour
Southern Spain´s club for bears and admirers, GuadalkiBear, is organizing its 8th meeting Guadalkibear ConBeargence 2007.
The Bear movement in Spain has become very important in this country in recent years and in a short time we already have bars and bear clubs in the country´s most important cities, and international events in cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Zaragoza and Vigo.
GDK is considered one of the most important, intimate and enjoyable events. We have a cruise on a private boat with a private party afterwards on the same boat. This makes this meeting different from what you normally find in other countries. Last year we had about 700 participants!
The city of Sevilla is the main capital of the southern region of the country (Andalucía) and one of the most important and beautiful cities in Spain. In October, Sevilla´s weather is ideal. It has a wealth of art and monuments , and best of all, its residents are warm, hospitable and friendly to foreigners. As for the bear scene, we have Men to Men (the home of our club) that has become the largest bar for bears, older men and admirers in the entire country, with two floors and 200 square meters (2100 square feet) of floor space. We also have two saunas and a disco frequented by the bear community.
Guadal...What?
The name GuadalkiBear is a combination of the name of the famous river that runs through our city, Guadalquivir, and the word Bear. In Spanish, saying Guadalquivir sounds almost the same as GuadalkiBear, but for people that don't speak Spanish, saying Guadalkibear is frankly too complicated, so we decided to use the abbreviation GKB so that we can all understand each other.
