OPERATIONAL MAP
Stadium access – Estadio Carlos Tartiere
GETTING TO THE GROUND
The Estadio Carlos Tartiere is a 20-30 minute walk from the city center. Alternatively, take urban bus lines F1 or F2 which run frequently on matchdays.
Warning: The stadium is located in a residential valley. Access roads can be very tight; walking is often faster than taking a bus stuck in traffic.
Away fans are located in the North End (Fondo Norte). Access is via dedicated gates (usually Gate 24). The ground is partially built into a hillside.
PROHIBITED ITEMS
- Alcohol
- Glass bottles
- Professional cameras
- Pyrotechnics
CRITICAL
Strict anti-alcohol policy. Police often perform breathalyzer tests at turnstiles. Bags must be small (A4 max). The stadium is mostly cashless.
Exit routes & evacuation
Designated routes for away fans lead towards the bus parking area or the main road back to the city center.
Exit via the main tunnels onto the stadium's external walkways. Follow police cordons to your designated transport.

Calle Gascona offers good transport links and is generally safe for away supporters.
