"Nice compact ground"

There was two things about the town of Eibar I didn't realise until I went there - it's bigger than I thought (the population is around 30,000 and known as one of the smallest to host La Liga football) and it's hillier than I thought. You're unlikely to stay in the town but it is worth an hour or two to explore beforehand, the ground is around ten minutes from the town centre though and a little hilly.

It's been redeveloped in recent years to increase the capacity for La Liga so feels a newish stadium. but still tight in its surroundings. I don't think they often sell out (just over half full when I went) so easy to get tickets (around €20-30 for second tier). But despite the small crowds for that level it was still a good atmosphere.

I love that the town/ground has hosted top level football and now are still up near the top of the 2nd tier trying to get back to the top flight. Well worth a visit.

Location

Eibar is easyish to get to from Bilbao or San Sebastian, the last euskotren train is late enough to get back to either city and is very cheap even if a little slow (took a bit over an hour to get to Bilbao). In Eibar itself the ground isn't far from the town centre/train station

View

A compact ground so wherever you are won't be far from the pitch. The stands are about ten feet higher than the pitch though.

Atmosphere

Despite a modest 4,500 crowd the atmosphere was quite buzzing at the end. A decent amount of singing throughout the game and the usual whistling you get in Spanish football whenever the fans think a decision has gone against them
