Casa de Campo Cruising

Casa de Campo is Madrid's vast western park and its most long-standing outdoor cruising ground, cited across cruising guides for decades. The wooded areas near the Cerro de las Garabitas and the lake (Lago) side see the most activity, typically from late afternoon into the evening.

Getting there: Metro Lago (line 10) or the Teleférico cable car. Safety: this is a large, partly isolated park — go in daylight or early evening, stay near populated paths, keep valuables secure, and be aware the interior is very quiet after dark. Sex in public spaces is not formally sanctioned; be discreet and respect other park users, families and cyclists who share the space.
