In Madrid the heat tightens and to remedy it and even though we are very far from the sea, we propose to go to the pool.
Yes! Madrid has many options to cool us off in summer! We have prepared a post in which we list the main (and most central) outdoor pools. To swim, sunbathe or fight the heat for only 4.5o the full day… take note!
Madrid’s swimming pools are open from 15 May to 15 September
