The art of bullfighting, so intrinsically linked to Spanish culture, can be experienced at the bullring located in the heart of Benidorm, alongside the Parque de l'Aigüera.
A venue which officially opened in 1962, thanks to the private initiative of such figures as Alfonso Puchades, Luis Alegre and José Barceló along with a number of bullfighters including Jaime Ostos and Paco Camino.
The circular arena has featured every kind of event: 'rejoneo' horseback bullfighting, showjumping, major musical concerts, including the "Festival de la Canción en Benidorm" ("Benidorm Song Festival") and "Low Cost", motorbike displays, etc.
It is now seeing a renewed upturn in bullfighting events, which had apparently been on the decline, and in the month of March features the famous Easter Week bullfights, which typically attract the leading bullfighters.
