Football grounds in Spain

Spain pairs two of the largest grounds in Europe — the rebuilt Bernabéu and the Camp Nou — with a set of older, tighter stadiums in the north and south.

Planning

Travelling in Spain

Grounds in Spain sit inside cities with their own transport networks, so the useful planning question is rarely how to reach the country and almost always how to reach the ground on matchday. Each city page sets out the lines and stations, and each stadium page adds the stand layout, the away sector and the matchday rules in force.

Away supporters travelling within Spain follow the same routine everywhere in this guide: go early, keep the bag small, and expect the nearest station to the ground to be the slowest part of the journey home.
