Stadium Tours: LaLiga top 10 venues rankings - Why Wanda is No.1 above Nou Camp?

The Spanish top flight includes some of the most iconic venues in the game and some modern gems

The new Atletico Madrid stadium opened in September 2017 and will host the Champions League final for the first time at the end of this season.

The 68,000 capacity facility has become an instant hit in La Liga and is arguably the top stadium in an iconic list of Spanish stadiums.

We've put together our power rankings of the top 10 La Liga stadiums, with the Wanda Metropolitano overhauling the Camp Nou and Santiago Bernabeu to claim the top spot.

1) Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid

The imposing facility has become a fortress for Atletico Madrid already. The modern stadium is easy on the eye with an eye-catching roof, but the bowl-shaped arena has not fallen short on atmosphere.

The steep stands are close to the pitch and create an intimidating venue for opposing teams to visit.

2) Camp Nou, Barcelona

The iconic stadium remains one of the best in the world, boasting a huge capacity of 99,354.

The huge, steep stands flanking either side of the pitch provide an imposing backdrop for any opposing side taking on the might of Barcelona .

However, the modern Wanda Metropolitano has raised the bar and the Camp Nou will aim to set the standard again when it undergoes a £500m redevelopment project expected to be completed in 2021.

3) Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid

There are few stadiums more impressive than the Santiago Bernabeu, but it speaks volumes for the facilities boasted by La Liga's top three that it comes third in the list.

The 81,044 capacity stadium is still an intimidating place to play, but like the Camp Nou it is set for development to modernise.

Major work is expected to begin in mid-2019 and modernise the huge stadium, which is one of the most famous in world football.

4) Benito Villamarín Stadium, Real Betis

The 1982 World Cup venue is the fourth largest stadium in La Liga and has been transformed by redevelopment which was completed in 2017.

The Real Betis stadium holds 60,720 and hosted international football for the first time in 23 years when England beat Spain 3-2 in the Nations League last October.

The smart stadium is a typical Spanish facility, with a bowl-like shape, steep stands and no roof - a perfect backdrop for summer games.

5) Mestalla, Valencia

Valencia's 49,500 capacity stadium is known for its iconic north stand.

The steep section appears almost vertical, overlooking the action and giving stunning atmosphere at big games.

The club are in the process of building a Nou Mestalla, but for the time being the historic old stadium, opened in 1923, is one of the gems of La Liga.

6) San Mamés, Athletic Bilbao

Opened in 2013, Bilbao's modern new stadium provides an eye-catching design from the exterior with a lighting system similar to that at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

It is also a smart stadium giving excellent atmosphere and slated to be a host venue for Euro 2020 next year.

It might not be quite as big as Wanda Metropolitano, but the San Memes Stadium is representative of a new breed of excellent Spanish stadiums.

7) RCDE Stadium, Espanyol

Barcelona's neighbours splashed the cash on a plush new facility of their own when the RCDE Stadium opened in 2009.

The smart, 40,000 capacity stadium has a slick design and is easy on the eye.

It has rarely been filled by the club in recent years, but it is still a top class facility which is also used regularly as a venue for other events such as major concerts.

8) Estadio El Madrigal, Villarreal

Remarkably, El Madrigal holds half the population of Villarreal with a capacity of 24,890.

The stadium is known to become a wall of colour on matchdays, with a yellow submarine outside to represent the nickname of the club.

Officially renamed as Estadio de la Ceramica to represent their local industry in 2017, the unique stadium has a picturesque backdrop and is a huge part of the small town.

9) Anoeta Stadium, Real Sociedad

Currently in the process of renovations taking the capacity up to 42,000, the Real Sociedad stadium is a uniquely designed arena.

The shape of the roof and sweeping bowl shape make it an easy-on-the-eye setting which is improving with current work.

The removal of a running track and insertion of a new layer of seats will bring fans closer to the action and generate a better experience for fans.

10) Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Sevilla

Sevilla's stadium is another used for the 1982 World Cup, and holds a remarkable home record.

Spain have never lost an international game at the stadium, whilst Sevilla have lost only five times at home in European competition.

It holds 43,883 fans and is particularly impressive under the lights as another impressive open-air La Liga stadium.
