Madrid - Las Ventas (plaza de toros)

This is the bullring in Madrid, Las Ventas, which is located at the Las Ventas metro stop...go figure!  I had to make a special trip out there to get some pictures.  I wish I could have seen a bullfight.  There's always next time!

The main entrance to the bullring.

Views of the sides of the bullring taken from the main entrance just to show you the size of this structure.

A poster for one of the upcoming bullfights and a wall near the bullring with a scene from a "corrida de toros".

A monument to a famous bullfighter in front of the bullring.  The inscription reads (in English) "Died a bullfighter and born an angel".

Feel free to   with questions or comments.
