 The Goya bullfighting festival |
Plaza de Toros de las Ventas Madrid, Madrid 28027 |
A mini-bullfighting festival that takes place two or three days prior to the May 2 celebrations (2 de Mayo) and acts as a sort of warm-up for the major bullfighting festival (Feria de San Isidro) that starts a few days later. Some of the country's outstanding young apprentice bullfighters are tested in the ring at this festival. The most eagerly awaited event is the spectacular corrida goyesca on the second day, when the bullfighters and their team of banderillos and picadors dress up in the sort of colourful 18 century costumes painted by the brilliant artist, Goya.

Famous Spanish Bullfighting |
Calle de Alcalá 237 Madrid 28028 +34 91 356 2200 / +34 91 726 4800 http://www.las-ventas.com/ |
Plaza de Toros de las Ventas is Madrid's top bullring. You can catch bullfighting events here on Sundays every week from March to October. Although this typical Spanish sport is a national favorite, it should be known that it is gory and considered cruel. Those interested in catching a fight between man and beast or just touring the venue can call up Las Ventas for details. Or see website for scheduling info. Review © 2007, Wcities |
