The largest pool in Castilla and León is in a town in León and is shaped like a guitar

Summer has arrived, there's no doubt about that. And what's also clear is that it doesn't discriminate; the sun beats down regardless of whether the region you're in has a beach or not. If you're far from the coast, one option to relax and spend the day between dips is, without a doubt, to go to a municipal (or private) pool.

Castilla y León is a region with a solid network of pools, and there are all kinds: large, small, public, private, with slides, inflatable structures, wave pools, etc. So, if you're looking for the perfect pool, today we're talking about the pool complex located in Valencia de Don Juan, which is not only one of the most fun, but also the largest in the entire community.

The pools of Valencia de Don Juan didn't start out as the "water paradise" they are today. They were inaugurated in 1976, and year after year they have evolved. And you might say: "Well, they've had plenty of time to improve." And yes, indeed, today the sports complex boasts several pools, including an Olympic pool, a splash pool, a large pool with various zones, the ball pool, and several water parks. Additionally, another attraction you absolutely must try is the fast slides and the tube slide pool. As you can see, it's no small matter.

But it doesn't stop there; the main attraction of the complex is its wave pool, shaped like a guitar, which offers 678 square meters to immerse yourself. It has a depth of 1.80 meters and features different wave intensities that vary by the moment. So, even though there isn't a beach in Castilla y León, the waves here will make you feel like you're in the heart of the Mediterranean.

With so much stimulation, you might already be tired (and that's even before you've set foot in Valencia de Don Juan), but don't worry; here you can also find places to rest, enjoy, and relax away from the water: areas with tables and chairs, a restaurant, a café, kiosks, library service, play areas, and sports facilities for the little ones... And if, on the contrary, you're one of those who need activity constantly (either in or out of the water), the complex has extensive green areas that house a large number of sports courts (padel, volleyball, basketball, soccer, ping-pong, tennis...).

There are spots for everyone, and the little ones find their ideal place in a water dragon located in the park. It's a play tower with various slides and jets in a pool of 580 square meters and 35 deep; perfect for the little ones in the house. Additionally, another perfect space for kids is the jets with games on a platform where children can have fun and enjoy the water and games.

So, if you're from the plateau (or on vacation in Castilla y León) and looking for an afternoon of splashing, Valencia de Don Juan offers that and more. The complex opens from ten to ten, although the pools open gradually. What are you waiting for?
