Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas
The Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas (originally Nuevo Estadio de Vallecas and previously Estadio Teresa Rivero) is renowned as a raw, fiercely working-class ground, with a capacity of just 14,708 - making it one of the smallest stadiums in La Liga. The stadium has only three main stands, while a huge brick wall behind one goal is overlooked by the balconies of nearby apartment blocks. It is equally famous for its intense, anti-establishment fan culture and hostile atmosphere. Fans sit exceptionally close to the pitch, creating a wall of noise that feels far more intimidating than modern arenas. In July 2026, the Madrid regional administration revoked Rayo Vallecano's lease of the stadium after an audit revealed serious shortcomings in safety, maintenance, and sanitation across the facilities forcing the club to play its 'home' fixtures at other stadiums until the problems were fixed. Players have labeled the pitch "unplayable" with no hot waters in the showers and poor hygiene. The same scenario also occurred in 2018 when the stadium, which opened in 1976, was closed for a period. Vallecano's first 'home' game of the 202-27 season against Alaves was played at Leganes' Butarque Stadium.
Butarque Stadium
The 14,500-capacity Estadio Municipal de Butarque, home of CD Leganés opened in 1998. It is known for its intimate, almost "boutique" atmosphere, quirky fan traditions - including the famous inflatable cucumber - and its strong underdog identity. With its compact design and passionate local support, it is regarded as one of the coziest and most atmospheric community grounds in Spanish professional football. Fans are nicknamed pepineros (cucumber growers) and famously wave inflatable cucumbers during matches owing to Leganés' agricultural history. The ground takes its name from Nuestra Señora de Butarque, the local patron saint of Leganés and is known as Ontime Butarque for sponsorship reasons.
Estadio de Anoeta
The 40,000-capacity Estadio de Anoeta (Anoeta Stadium) in San Sebastián is the home ground of Real Sociedad. It was previously the Reale Arena for sponsorship purposes until 2025. The stadium opened in 1993 and is a potential venue for the 2030 World Cup. Redevelopment work which began in 2017 removed the running track and saw the construction of a new south end stand. Access: Anoeta is the nearest railway station. Buses 17, 24, 26, 28, and 37 are also convenient.
Estadi Mallorca Son Moix
The Estadi Mallorca Son Moix outside Palma is the largest stadium in the Balearic Islands and is home to RCD Mallorca. The ground officially opened in June 1999 to host the 1999 Summer Universiade before RCD Mallorca moved in as its permanent tenant. The stadium underwent a massive, multi-phase renovation from 2022 to 2024. This major overhaul completely restructured the seating bowl, removing the running track. The now 25,736-capacity arena officially reopened with a LaLiga match against Celta Vigo. Previous sponsorship names were Ono Estadi (2006-2010); Iberostar Estadi (2010-2017); Visit Mallorca Estadi (2020-2022).
