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.
