2008 Spanish Open Travel

To travel to the 2008 Spanish Open golf tournament, you will need to get to the city of Madrid in Spain. Madrid is most easily accessible by air and train. The 2008 Spanish Open (also known as Open de España) is being held at the Centro Nacional de Golf in Madrid, which is in the centre of Spain.

Centro Nacional de Golf

The newly designed Centro Nacional de Golf on the outskirts of Madrid plays host for the second time to the 2008 Spanish Open. The golf course is conveniently located 10 km from Barajas airport and a mere 1km from Pitis rail station.

The Centro Nacional de Golf is near a bus stop (lines 67 and 82) which means 2008 Spanish Open travel for spectators and fans is both easy and convenient. Full details on the travel options available (metro, taxi, bus and car hire) can be found on the Madrid Tourist Guide website in English.

Madrid

Home also to Real Madrid FC, Madrid is the highest capital in Europe which means fairly good weather in the spring and summer. The most pleasant weather falls between May and mid-July when average temperatures are between 20 and 32 degrees Celsius (68°F – 90°F). The 2008 Spanish Open held towards the end of April each year usually means warm temperatures and blue skies – perfect for golfing!

Madrid is a city packed with cultural attractions including museums, art galleries, gardens and palaces. In the evenings, the city comes alive with hundreds of theatre shows, opera, dancing and other forms of nightlife. Be sure to check out the flamenco!

Another reason that makes 2008 Spanish Open travel so appealing is that Madrid is child-friendly. There are theme parks, zoos and various excursions for children – the perfect solution for the odd day not spent at the Open de España .
