The 5 best outdoor pools in Spain
Our country is full of municipal swimming pools , but the best natural pools are also found in Spain. On this occasion, instead, we want to discover outdoor swimming pools, so they are accessible to everyone, although we must bear in mind that depending on the time we go it is possible that we may find too much public and we still have to go with beware of coronavirus.
Anyway, the time has come to enjoy and cool off so there is nothing like visiting one of these outdoor pools.
Aquopolis, Sevilla
The first of the pools that we recommend is the Aquapolis water park in Seville, where in fact you will not find a single pool but you will be able to spend one of the coolest days of the whole summer. This city is famous for being one of the hottest in Spain (and Europe), so it is appreciated to be able to have fun with all the Aquapolis attractions designed for all ages: from simple and small slides to fast and larger attractions for that the older ones have a great time.

Montjuïc swimming pool, Barcelona
One of the best swimming pools in all of Barcelona is the municipal swimming pool of Montjuïc since it not only offers the opportunity to take a refreshing bath but also offers incredible views of the city .
The pool was built for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games , and was used for the diving competition, although the part that is open to the public today is the pool that athletes use for heating. Located on the hillside of Montjuïc, near the Poble Sec neighborhood, the pool is open during the summer months, offering as we say one of the best panoramic views of the city. The ticket price per person is only € 6.84 (free for children under 5 years old).
Puerta del Hierro Sports Park, Madrid
Located in the Spanish capital, the Puerta del Hierro Sports Park is a large sports and leisure park that occupies some 300,000 square meters of land .

A pool in which to cool off from the heat in Madrid, but which in winter is filled with kayaks and canoes to take a walk.

Tenerife’s Siam Park is considered one of the best water parks in the world. In this large park, built in 2008, you will not only find many attractions and pools where you can cool off, but it also has the record for the largest artificial wave in the world, which reaches 3.3 meters in height. As a curious fact we have to add that this is the first green water park in the world , choosing to heat the water to only 25 ° C.
