Badajoz bullring hosts one of the most important bullfighting fairs in the region.
Badajoz's previous bullring, which had been inaugurated in 1859, was demolished in the year 2000 to built the Manuel Rojas Congress Centre. The construction of the current Badajoz bullring, also known as the Pardaleras bullring, dates back to 1967. In it you can enjoy the national festival from one of the 13,000 seats it has to offer. June is therefore when this bullring is at its busiest
