Barcelona’s famous Camp Nou is the largest all-seated stadium in Europe with a capacity of almost 100,000. Visitors can get tickets for the Camp Nou Experience and explore the stadium’s fascinating zones such as the president’s box and press area. You’re also permitted to live every schoolboy’s dream by going through the player’s tunnel out onto the pitch and then visiting the museum which houses the club’s trophy collection, club memorabilia and has interesting inter-active video displays. After visiting Camp Nou on last minute Costa Dorada holidays, reward the family for your indulgence by driving them to the gorgeous beaches on the coast which are only 90 minutes down the road.

Real Madrid’s stadium, Santiago Bernabeu, is one of the most emblematic in Europe. It was designed and constructed more than half a century ago by architect Jose Castell and sits right in the centre of Spain’s lively capital city. On match days up to 80,000 supporters stream through its gates to see the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo work their magic on the field. Tourists on Spain’s football trail can take an all-access tour of the stadium and see the player’s locker rooms, bench and the tunnel to the pitch revealing a breath-taking panoramic view of the arena. These tickets, which include entry to the museum can either be bought on-line from the official Real Madrid website or purchased from the stadium.

Time your holidays to see Barcelona and Real Madrid play at home in the Champions League and the Spanish league to really experience the football fiesta spirit.
