 plaza de toros by Lorro I have never been inside but its a beautiful bull ring from the outside at least. They say its a wonderful place to see the "corrida de toros." Its not called a "fight" in spanish. And its not a sport, its an art. And I have been told that when a really great "matador" is in the ring facing the bull, the moments of silence at the Maestranza in Sevilla are the most beautiful of all bull rings. The "temorada", season of the "corrida de toros" is late spring and early summer. The most expensive and best seats are in the section called "Sombra" (shade) and the cheapest are in "Sol" (sun), for obvious reasons. For the middle price go for "sol y sombra" sun and shade.

 Great history by laughingsun69 Missed the bullfighting by about a month so thought id check out the bullfighting ring and museum it was quite interesting and theres alot of history here, i personally think its cruel on the beast and thought it was unfair when i heard that the bull that kills a matador is exicuted and its siblings or blood lines are wiped out well its just not fair is it , you see a few spainish guys walking around with sever limps etc you cant help wondering if it was done during the running of the bulls.

 Bullring by Zlur Seville's bullring is one of the most elegant and probably one of the oldest in Spain (1758). Bullfighting on foot instead of horseback began here in the 18th century. Guided visits of the ring and it's museum are given in English and Spanish every 20 minutes for 3 Euros 9.30am-2pm & 3pm-7pm daily, 9.30am-3pm bullfighting days.

 Statue of a famous matador in front of the Plaza by bliss7, 3 more photos Olé! Wow, what an experience it is to watch a bullfight. It is a mix of gore and art, there is no other way around it. Some find it barbaric, others find it beautiful. I saw both. Some people won't shut up when you tell them you saw a bullfight and didn't hate it. To them I say: This is a part of Spanish culture, deal with it. (Ironically these same people often proclaim themselves as "champions of diversity.") Anyway, if you are in Sevilla, I recommend going, just to check it out. There certainly is a lot of blood, eventually I just only watched the matador and toreros. One of the best parts of all is the music that is played at certain points during the event. You feel transported back hundreds of years ago. Oh, and on a hot day, make sure to sit in the shade! (Sombra). Otherwise you will bake. Leave a Comment Phone: 95 422 45 77Directions: Along the Guadalquivir River.

How to deny the beauty in this "art"? Imposible. How to deny the cruelty in this art....Imposible. Not recomended for very very sensitive people. You may want to buy "sombra tickets" either in the "primera fila" or "palcos". The primera fila has also de charm that you can spy what happens around the "ring" all the "ganaderos" and "toreros" gather there for the fight, as well the judges and what they call the "corrida police" Leave a Comment Phone: 95 422 45 77

 Inside the stadium by leplaya The bullfighting ring of Sevilla is a historical place. However, unless you’re really into bullfighting, it’s not worth taking the tour. You get to go into the stands and see the field, but they don’t allow you to get onto the field. Also, there is a museum with bull-fighting memorabilia, but, as someone who doesn’t know anything about bull-fighting, I wasn’t too interested. You also don’t get to visit the area where they keep the bulls. So, really, for 5 euros you get to take a quick peek at the inside of the stadium and a 15-min museum tour. It’s really not worth it. It's open every day 9:30 to 7 (Nov to April) and to 9 (May to Oct). Leave a Comment

by cmalks Sevilla has without a doubt, the finest bull fighting ring in Spain. I had to check it out on a non-fight day and only took the tour to see what is was all about. As a person very opposed to this ridiculous 'sport', the idea of a live match was not appealing. Leave a Comment Phone: 95 422 45 77

 I was here!! ;-) by Krystynn Why, watch a bullfight, of course! Sevilla has arguably the BEST bullring in all of Spain - Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza. For first-timers like myself, the Corrida (or bullfight) can be very exciting and yet, gory. I sat riveted on my seat. Mesmerized by it all. And dazzled by the matadors' many different (and glittering) outfits... What an experience!

by A2002 Bull fights are unique to Spain. So I have classified it as a 'must see' activity. Is this why Spanish has oxtail stew (Rabo de toro).

by A2002 The matador ('star') with his peones (junior bullfighter), wearing colourful tights and vest. I think this metador's is wearing the traje de luces (suit of lights). Can you see this metador holding one ear in his right hand??? After the kill, the crowd were on their feet waving white handkerchiefs in the air appealing to the president to award the matador an ear (oreja) of the dead bull. Due to the crowd's enthusiasm, the president waved a white handkerchief at his balcony signalling an ear to be awarded to the metador. Leave a Comment Directions: Hmm... as a foreigner with not much knowledge, we just sat and watch and enjoy the enthusiasm of the crowd cheering at the 'hero' and waving a white handkerchief. :-)
