The '''Circuito permanente del Jarama''' (Permanent circuit of the Jarama) is a 3.404  [[kilometer|km]]) (2.115-[[mile||mi]]) race course in [[Spain]] which hosted nine [[Formula One]] [[Spanish Grand Prix]].

Designed by [[John Hugenholtz]] (who also created [[Circuit Zandvoort|Zandvoort]] and [[Suzuka Circuit|Suzuka]]), the circuit was built in [[1967]] north of [[Madrid]] in arid scrub land.  It had a short straight, as most of the course consisted of tight, twisty corners; overtaking was extremely difficult.

Jarama hosted its last F1 race in [[1981]] when it was deemed too narrow for modern racing; its still holds occasional sports car and [[motorcycle]] races.
