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 is Aquópolis de San Fernando, an aquapark that lies some 15km outside the city on the Barcelona road. Further afield is Warner Beach, a water park attached to the Warner Brothers theme park in San Martín
