But beware, you may not have to wait as long to cool off as God intended… Madrid has no beach, but it does have swimming pools, and what kind. The capital of Spain offers an infinite number of summer plans and a large selection of incredible pools that will not allow you to miss the coast at all. Natural pools, municipal pools or our favourites, hotel pools (in which you can spend all day and while you’re at it, enjoy unbeatable views of the city skyline while sipping a good cocktail) are some of the most prominent and sought-after dates on these important dates. And the point is… who wants sticky sand and a breeze when you can be on the rooftop of Madrid in the purest style of Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City? Who wants crowds at the beach while you can escape to a natural pool in the Sierra?
