Spend an active morning at the Canal de Isabel II sports complex, a Chamberí institution since 1930. Swim in the large outdoor pool or run the park's circuit tracks among local regulars.

📖

Full description

The Instalaciones Deportivas Canal de Isabel II is a big public sports complex in Chamberí that has operated since 1930. It combines several pools, gymnasiums, tennis and racquetball courts and a football pitch, set within green grounds with two tracks circling the park for walkers and runners.

The big outdoor pool is spacious and rarely crowded, though shaded seating is limited in the Madrid summer. Visitors report a mostly local, Spanish-speaking environment, and some have found opening times differ from online listings.

Reviews

Never saw something that stupid. Nobody speaks English (in the capital of Spain, one could expect that so they would be able to communicate with international ppl). It opens at 11 even though Google says 10. And it's already sold out at 11 (I came back after it was close at 10 just to hear that it's sold out). Maybe…
