The Stadia:
The Spanish stadia aren't the most multifunctional
and comfortable stadia in the world. Though
visiting a football match in Spain can be
quite an experience, mostly because the stadia
are large and quite impressive and the fans
can be really fanatic.
Since the World Cup in 1982 the stadia have
gradually been upgraded, but major developments
have failed to appear. Therefore most stadia
lack any good facilities and are not covered,
though that last issue is not often a big
problem in Spain. So when you get the chance
to visit a match, it is definitely worth to
take that chance.
The stadia in Spain are usually quite large,
so not many games are sold out. Of course
use your common sense here. Finding tickets
can be a problem for the derbies (Madrid,
Barcelona, Sevilla) and some other big or
important matches (for example Real Madrid-
Barcelona). The only club where tickets are
structually sold out (also for smaller matches)
is Real Madrid. Therefore getting tickets
for Real Madrid asks a little bigger effort.
