Details

Even in modern Spain, the ancient custom of bullfighting can provoke heated debate. Steeped in legend, the tradition of the "Fiesta Brava" can be traced back to the ancient Greeks. Modern-day bulls might be selectively bred, but the individuals who confront them are merely brave men practicing the earliest skills of the matador. Begin with a drive through tree-lined avenues and squares before arriving at the Las Ventas Bull Ring. After watching the bullfight, your guide will offer expert commentary on the event.Please note: Due to the violent nature of this event, you must be older than 15 to be admitted.
