The bullfight is part of Spains tradition, and can be seen in a monumental arena on the intersection of Calle de Alcala and the city highway.

The opening of the arena took place in 1934. The maximum capacity amounts a crowd of 23.000 people. Vistors are mostly impressed by the charming architecture of the building.
