For those keen on getting more of that true
Spanish flavor, at least one visit to the Malagueta Bullring
is recommended. As politically incorrect as the 'sport' may
seem nowadays, it is still part of Spanish culture.
Located at the
end of Paseo del Parque close to La Malagueta beach, the city's
majestic bullring was designed in 1874 by Joaquín Rucoba and
definitely adds to the city's historical and cultural past.
Bullfighting in Spain is all about tradition and makes for
an interesting and unforgettable show - the afternoon heat,
the vivid red and golden colors of the torero's traje de luces
(his fighting costume), the raw power of the strong bulls,
the sand and the enthusiastic crowd with cries of "Ole!!"
If you're an avid bullfighting fan you cannot leave Malaga
before stopping over at the famous Malagueta Bullring. Learn
