Horse race

The Zarzuela Hippodrome is one of the most outstanding attractions in Madrid. Going to the Hipódromo de la Zarzuela is a festive experience, like spending a day in the countryside.

In the time you spend on the grounds, no one wants to miss the paddock area. This is where the horses are displayed a few minutes before the start of the race. It is the social meeting point par excellence, and also serves to study the condition of the horses before betting.

But the Hipódromo de la Zarzuela offers much more. The large central esplanade becomes a picnic area and it is common to sit down between races to drink a beer or eat a snack. Lately, food trucks with hamburgers, hot dogs, octopus, Iberian cured meats, etc. have been gaining momentum. In addition, a large barbecue and the Mahou Beer Room have been created.
