The front

This is the world's most important and beautiful bullring. Even if you think that bullfighting is a bloody and cruel sport, the bullring is worth seeing. All the bullfighting happens in the summer. This bullring officially opened in 1934. The Museo Taurino, a museum about bullfighting is also worth seeing if you have some time. The entrance fee is free.
