Arena without bullfighting - There are electronic guides available in different languages, which provided good information about the respective stations. It was very interesting, even without real bullfighting.

Surprising experience, even if you oppose bullfighting - We accidentally ended up on the street of the arena on our last day. We crossed over to take photos because of the statue. I had already noticed the arena from the castle on previous days, and even then I told my friend that I wouldn’t visit it—even if there were no bullfights. Since it was our last day, we decided to walk over to the building anyway. At that exact moment, it had just opened, and an older gentleman invited us inside. We bought tickets (€10) and went in. I strongly disapprove of cruel bullfighting, but as both an outsider and a critic, I decided to give it a chance. I did not regret it at all—it was very interesting. I learned a lot of things I didn’t know before about the bulls (toro bravo), the matador, the torero, and how the whole tradition works. I used an audio guide and listened in English. It completely held my attention, and you could walk through almost every part of the arena. The building itself is also a beautiful historic structure. Toward the end of the tour, you could even step into the center of the arena. There were only three other people inside besides me, which made the experience even more special. At the end, there was also a VR experience summarizing the whole tradition—it was great. So I would recommend it even to those who strongly disapprove of this cruel “spectacle.”

Bullring kept immaculate - The building is kept in a good condition. Beautiful tiled walls. You are allowed to walk all around the bullring, so you see every aspect of the building. Even the doctors operating table and surgery for the gored matadors etc.

Real life bullring and historical artifacts - What a fantastic experience, the personal audio guides worked perfectly, the 360° virtual experience was very lifelike, the bullring (still used today) was amazing as was the concierge Veronica; a most welcoming and helpfuly lady, note to Veronica's boss... Payrise?

Atmospheric and iconic - Fantastic experience and insight into this iconic Spanish cultural tradition. I enjoyed sitting in the stands and absorbing the atmosphere and view. Loved learning about the lady Matador too.

Great tour of an authentic bullring! - Our family really enjoyed the tour. It was well worth the price! The audio tour is very informative and you can self pace as fast or as slow as you like. There is a good photo opportunity to get photos with castle in the background. The museum offers a unique virtual reality experience of the bullring and the bull pastures. There is also a funny photo they do for an extra price. I won’t spoil the surprise, but we bought the pictures.

Too bad about the preparation festival - Too bad there was nowhere mentioned that the arena itself was full of Christmas market and food truck. You think in the end I'm like a real one in the middle but didn't go

Organization mixed with CrossFit activity with tour and little signage - We liked it but we weren't warned that there was another activity in the ring and didn't get to visit well or go in to see it
