The tour is interesting and good value for money, includes the audio guide. Not sure I'd want to go to an actual bull fight. They take place every Sunday.

Amazing experience! they have 6-7 sets of bullfighting lined up. if you can't stand the sun, get seats in the shaded section. be warned, they will not let you into the arena if a set has already begun

Important notes : if you need to go to restroom between fights , you have to come pack before the next fight begins or they would lock you outside till the next break, which is around 30 mins.

This bullring was designed by the architect José Espeliú in the Neo-Mudéjar (Moorish) style with ceramic incrustations. The seats are situated in ten "tendidos".

Sit in the shade, rent the cushions, and buy drinks from the vendors who climb the aisles.

During my visit , 4 out of 6 bulls went thru a slower death than plotted because the toreros fail to stab the sword into the bull hearts, took several blows to put it to an end. Poor animals.

When Bullfights are off-season catch a tour inside the arena. The tour guide offers many interesting historic facts.

No doubts this show is interesting, but Better to forbid it. Pay attention to sunny side of arena, tickets are cheaper there

You gonna witness a systematic torture. There must be no excuse for tormenting, torturing and violently killing animals.

Before you go, read Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon, his treatise on bull fighting. Helps you appreciate the sport and its artistry even more.

Como a idéia é avaliar o local,não meu gosto pessoal,digo que as instalações apesar de antigas,são boas. Fácil de entrar e sair. Muito pessoal trabalhando pra te informar. Só tem muitos fumantes.

Durante la temporada de invierno se convierte en el "Gran Teatro Caser Ruedo Las Ventas", una iniciativa que espero se extienda para todo el año. LA TORTURA NO ES CULTURA.

Стоит посетить хотя бы ради того, чтобы иметь собственное мнение о корриде. Перед походом желательно ознакомиться с правилами, зрелище сразу станет интереснее и понятнее.
