Lonely Planet review

Ronda's elegant Plaza de Toros is a mecca for bullfighting aficionados. In existence for more than 200 years, it is one of the oldest and most revered bullrings in Spain. It has also been the site of some of the most important events in bullfighting history. Built by Martín Aldehuela, the bullring is universally admired for its soft sandstone hues and galleried arches.

At 66m in diameter it is also the largest and, therefore, most dangerous bullring, yet it only seats 5000 spectators - a tiny number compared with the huge 50,000-seater bullring in Mexico City. In July the ring is used for a series of fabulous concerts, and opera.
