Dpe the fact that homosexualy was still nsired a crime unr Fran's regime, 1962, a Brish gay uple opened Tony's Bar on the narrow L-shaped alleyway Pasaje Begoña. "Although Tony's nnot be fed as a 'gay bar' as we unrstand today, was a place where the owners were gay and allowed the clientele eedom, " said Je M Pérez, the print of Pasaje Begoña Associatn, which was found 2018 wh the aim of "reverg the memory of this emblematic place and rcug this fotten chapter the history of Spa". Tony's was an stant smash and over the next few years, spired a slew of other tablishments terg to the gay muny.
