About Estadio de la Ceramica

Welcome to Estadio de la Ceramica, the home of Villarreal CF since 1923. Formerly known as El Madrigal, the venue sits in Vila-real, Castellón, Spain, and has hosted countless memorable European nights and domestic fixtures. This page provides practical details to help you secure your seats and plan a smooth visit, whether you’re a local supporter or traveling to catch a match.

Capacity and history: The stadium seats approximately 23,000 fans (23,008 is the commonly cited figure in English sources). It opened on 17 June 1923 and underwent major renovations in 2005 and again around 2022 to modernize facilities while preserving its passionate matchday atmosphere.

Accessibility and getting there: We’ve laid out seating info, parking options, transit details, and nearby lodging and dining so you can focus on the game. If you’re planning a trip, think of this as your insider’s route to a straightforward, dependable ticket and visit experience.

Venue and neighborhood context: Estadio de la Ceramica is located at Calle Blasco Ibáñez 2, 12540 Vila-real (Castellón). While official club resources describe seating in generalized terms, public seating maps are available through third-party sources. Expect a single-tier and lower-bowl configuration with multiple sections that fans frequently reference for accessibility and sightlines. For fans traveling from outside Vila-real, Castellón and Valencia regions are well connected by road and rail, with local matchday shuttles sometimes organized by the club or fan groups.

Parking: Official stadium parking is limited, typically around 200–300 spaces. For most matchdays, plan to use nearby street parking in surrounding neighborhoods. Arrive early to secure a spot and avoid congestion near kickoff.

Transit: The nearest train station is in Vila-real, about 1.8 km away (roughly a 20–25 minute walk to the stadium). The Valencia tram network (C-6) connects Castellón to València, offering options for rail-based travel with regional hubs. On select match days, shuttle services may be organized to help fans reach the stadium from key transit points.

Nearby hotels and dining: For accommodation, consider Hotel Villarreal Palace and Hostal La Masía in Vila-real for convenient access to the stadium. Additional options are available in Castellón de la Plana or Valencia, depending on your travel plans. When you’re ready to dine before or after the match, there are local eateries and bars in Vila-real offering traditional Spanish fare, plus broader dining options in Castellón de la Plana. If you’d like, we can connect you with affiliate partner recommendations for hotels and restaurants to streamline booking and maximize value.
