Great experience - and that’s no bull!

Ronda visit
Even though we don’t agree with bull fighting we found the place very interesting. Lots of information and the history was very well explained. I would recommend a visit, it’s not expensive and well worth however long you decide to look around

At the most venerated bullring of all Spain!
You are just about to enter the oldest and most venerated bullring of all Spain! "La Real Maestranza de Ronda", home of the modern day bullfighting. It dates from 1785 and can accomodate 5,000 spectators. Check its baroque doorway, the unsual stone barriers and the seats supported by stone columns. It has been completely reestored and entry fee costs (expensive) E$7,00. Bullfighting is part of the Spanish traditional culture and Ronda's "Real Maestranza" is considered one of the most iconic bullrings of the whole country. Even if bullfighting is not among your main interests (and it isn't to many people), a visit to this arena, due to its historical role, could enrich your experience in Ronda and Andalusia. Enjoy!
