The bullring was opened in 1785 and is one of the oldest and ornate in Spain. Although we are not fans of bullfighting, the arena itself is spectacular and well worth the €6 each entrance. There are 136 columns, forming 68 arches and the upper and lower sections each contain five rows of seating.
There is a museum situated underneath the stand area which contains costumes, art and memorabilia depicting the origins and history of bullfighting from times past. Well worth a look but not necessarily to everyone's taste.
A bonus was seeing the young lady with her beautiful puppy, of which she was obviously very proud.......totally spoilt and quite right too.
