Pabellón Santiago Manguán

The wooden parquet of Pabellón Santiago Manguán is worn in patches where the players pivot. It sits on Calle Pizarro, tucked away from the main thoroughfares of Aranda de Duero. The capacity card lists 2,800.

Renamed in February 2023, the pavilion bears the name of Santiago Manguán, the local marathon runner. Before that, it was simply the Pabellón Municipal. The city council manages the concrete shell, but the soul of the place belongs to Tubos Aranda Villa de Aranda. They play here, and the crowd swells to nearly 90 per cent of the seats, a rarity in the Spanish league where away days are often sparse.

There is no air conditioning, a fact that gives the second half a physical weight to it. The heat builds, the players sweat, and the noise stays trapped in the rafters. Recent money has gone into the LED perimeter panels and the fire alarms, modern necessities that hum quietly while the game flows past them. The structure itself is older than the signage, and while the specific year of its opening has slipped from the record, its presence is undeniable. It is not a temple, but it is a solid box where the ball moves fast and the supporters are close enough to hear the shoes squeak.
