Centro de Alto Rendimiento (CAR)
The CAR is the one of the preferred facilities for Spanish olympic athletes. Present legends have been harvested inside its premises, athletes that have achieved the greatest marks only by blood, sweat and tears. Among the facilities we find two olympic pools (covered and open-air) and another covered pool.
