Abstract: The increasing visibility of gay tourism in digital media generates debates around certain practices that are not tied to heteronormativity, as is the case with cruising. This study explores the contradictions generated by cruising as a potential tourist resource based on debates reproduced in digital media. Specifically, it examines one of the most important international LGBT+ tourist destinations, Maspalomas, and one of the best-known settings for this type of practice: the Maspalomas sand dunes.
