Renowned bullfighters have performed in this small, modern bullring.
You will find this bullring with capacity for over 2,000 spectators at the entrance to the municipality of Zarza de Granadilla in the province of Cáceres. This lovely bullring was inaugurated on 19th May 1991 and renovated in 2013, enabling it to regain its former splendour. As well as for bullfights, it is now used for the festival of San Ramón, the patron saint of Zarza de Granadilla, in September.
