Keeping fit in Madrid!

It can be hard to stay in shape in this city full of

delicious food but here are some ideas!

Running in Retiro

Running through the park, you’ll lose yourself in the maze of paths but don’t

worry: you’ll probably end up at the stunning lake

found right in the middle – from there you can get your

bearings!

On a beautiful, sunny morning in Madrid there

aren’t many better things to do than to run through this

world-famous park!

Rollerblading round Madrid

For those of you who are more advanced, you’ll be able to explore more of

the city by following some of the bike paths – a

faster and healthier way to see Madrid!

If you’re a beginner skater,you may want to head to the

more open spaces of the parkslike Retiro! It’s a different andmore exciting way of burning

those calories!

Play a game of football!

As you probably know,football is very important in

Spain and we encourage youto not just watch it, but to

get involved and play as well!

There are a number of placesin the city that organize 5,

6 or 7 a side games so get a team together with yourfriends and get playing!

Join a gym!

As in any city, there are hundredsof gyms to choose from, maybeeven too many! The best way to

choose is to go with the oneclosest to where you’re staying – that way you’re more likely to go!!
