Rowing in Madrid

Rowing Life in Madrid

Madrid's rowing scene is based on the Casa de Campo lake and the nearby Lago de Banyoles training trips. Hot, dry summers mean the erg is often the cooler option for midday sessions, while spring and autumn are ideal for water work.

When to Row in Madrid

On-water rowing in Madrid depends on local seasons and water conditions. Most rowers combine club sessions with indoor erg training to stay consistent year-round, using the erg for structured work when the water is unavailable or conditions are poor.
