Swimming Pools & Waterparks
If you need a break from the soaring summer temperatures you can always cool off in one of public pools that are scattered across the city.
Some of the most popular options are to be found at Casa del Campo and the Vicente del Bosque sports complex in the north of the city.
Another option if you want more fun and games are the two water parks outside the city. Warner Beach, is attached to the Warner Brothers theme park in San Martín de la Vega, 35 km to the south of the city and Aquopolis is in Villanueva de la Cañada, a similar distance to the west.
