Baños Orientales

Texte de Wikipédia en anglais, en attente de traduction.

The Baños Orientales (English: Oriental Baths) in Barcelona, Spain were a popular lesbian meeting place during Francoist Spain. Opened, in 1872 in Barcelona, they were almost exclusively for women from the start. They closed in 1988, and were demolished in 1990. The baths were important for several reasons. First, they represented a safe place for lesbians who faced repression from Francoist Spain. They were also important for women in Barcelona in general, because the all-women space allowed women to wear clothing like bikinis or no clothing at all. The baths have been remembered at a feminist book fair and as part of an exhibition about women in Francoist Spain.
