Plaza de Toros: Ronda Spain Bullring
Ronda’s bullring is the oldest and most beautiful in Spain. The city is known to be the home of modern-day bullfighting after Francisco Romero reinvented the sport in the 1700s.
While we would never promote bullfighting as an activity (quite the opposite in fact) there is really no denying this is a stunning piece of architecture to behold. As you wander the sandy arena, you can’t help but imagine what it must have looked like packed with people cheering so many years ago.
Oldest Bullring in Spain
The Bullring of Ronda was introduced to the beautiful city of Ronda in 1785, and quickly became the center of life here. Today it is one of the most representative monuments of bullfighting, with an extremely rich history – in fact, you can check out this timeline of the Ronda Bullring to experience it yourself.

Janice y –
excellent small bus trip, although the bus driver did go the wrong hotel for our pick up, this was corrected when viator paid for our taxi to meet the bus. Tour guide was very good, hit the highlights of Ronda. Only request would have been to have more free time in the city, good shopping and more sights to see
