Spanish term or phrase: más currada
XXX magaxine has the "más curradas" and useful listings of gay clubs, restaurants, etc etc

Same gay context, referring to a gay magazine.

This word doesn't figure in my dictionaries.

Help appreciated.

English translation:most detailed, up-to-date
Explanation:
As mentioned before, it's from "currar", meaning "to work," so the most "curradas" would be the ones that had the most work put into them, so detailed and up-to-date might be one way of putting it.
