Description

The bullring “Las Ventas” is one of the most attractive places for all tourists in Spain, as corrida is one of the symbols of this country. Fascinating and exciting bullfight doesn’t leave anyone indifferent. It is a risky and bright show. Of course, corrida is not for the faint-hearted, but for real fans it’s not a fun, but an exciting adventure.

Waiting for the corrida, the tourists can visit the museum “Las Ventas”, where you can find the portraits, weapon, costumes and other accessories of the most famous matadors and the mummified bull heads that cause fear and excitement. Imagine how incredibly powerful the great matadors that could win them were! Their courage is admirable!
