All 14 tennis courts in Barcelona, mapped.

In Barcelona, padel has the courts now

Spain took to pàdel (padel in English), a doubles game played in a small walled court, and in Barcelona many former tennis courts have been converted. Tennis courts that take non-members are now concentrated in the municipal sports centers, marked CEM, and a few large complexes. Courts are usually paid by the hour through the center's desk, website or app, and summer evening slots go first because middays are hot. Many centers do not hire out racquets, so ask ahead or bring your own. Clay is common, so check whether your shoes suit it.
