Zarzuela race track, Horse racing venue in Madrid, Spain
Zarzuela race track is a horse racing venue in Madrid set across open grounds with a concrete structure sheltering the main grandstand. The venue holds approximately 17,000 spectators under its protective roof, with green spaces surrounding the competition area.
Construction began in 1935 but was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War, leaving the site abandoned. Rebuilding took place after the war, and the venue reopened in 1941.
The track brings together racing fans and families who share a passion for horse sports across generations. People gather to watch the competition unfold from the stands, making it a social place where this sporting tradition stays alive.
The grounds are easy to navigate with clear viewing areas and plenty of open space for moving around. Shaded seating and covered areas make visits comfortable even during warm afternoons.
During spring and autumn, the venue operates a special children's zone called Club Ponyturf featuring inflatable games and pony rides. This addition transforms the racing experience into family entertainment beyond just watching the horses compete.
