Bullfights at Las Ventas

Las Ventas Bullfighting Ring was built to substitute the bullfighting ring situated on the Aragon highway for a larger one,given that the capacity of this previous one was insufficient because of the demographic growth that Madrid experimented during the first half of the twentieth century.The bullfights in Madrid are celebrated in the majestic and monumental Plaza de Toros de las Ventas , the biggest in Spain and having the third biggest capacity in the world. It was built in 1922 and was inaugurated by the famous Belmonte.The bullfighting season at de las Ventas starts in March and finishes in October.The bullfighting ring is situated on Alcala Street number 237 and the fastest and easiest way to get there is by underground.
