VISIT AT THE ALICANTE BULL FIGHTING ARENA (1 hr y 15 minutos)(20 EUR)
When you
think about Spain what comes to mind after football, sangria, flamenco, and
paella? Bull fighting of course!
The bull
fights origin from the ancient Mesopotamia but was spread to the entire Mediterranean
area by the Romans, who included the bulls in their gladiator events. Today you
can find bull fights in several countries, but no other country is so connected
to the activity as Spain.
Many people
mistakenly thinks that bull fighting is an extinct activity. This is very far
from the reality. Almost every city, town and village are having bull fights
and bull runs at least once a year. In the villages the bull fight is carried
out in the central square or in a mobile arena rented for the event. The bigger
towns and cities have their “Plaza de toros”, which is a permanent
establishment which can be used several times a year.
If you are
curious about what bull fighting actually is and why the Spaniards are so
fascinated by this activity, you have the possibility to join a private guided
tour in the “Plaza de toros” in Alicante built in 1888.
Despite
what many people think bull fight is
not
a sport. It is considered a
cultural event equal to opera, ballet, and concerts.
The
excursion is not an appraisal of bull fight and will not include any animals.
During the tour the knowledgeable guides will tell the history of bull fighting
and explain all the traditions that are so ingrown in the Spanish culture that
the language holds many terms and phrases directly connected to this activity.
