El Arenosillo is the name of a launch site for sounding rockets in the proximity of Mazagon (province Cádiz, Spain) at 37°05'45" northern latitude and 6°44'30" western length. The first rocket launch at El Arenosillo took place on October 4th, 1966. Until 1994 557 rockets - mainly of the type Skua, kind of locomotive ID, Nike Cajun, INTA 100 and INTA 300B - were launched from El Arenosillo.

Not only rocket research takes place in El Arenosillo. Beside this there is an ionosonde exists at El Arenosillo.
