Seville enchants

Utrera’s Bullring was opened on 8 September 2010 to replace the old bullring known as “El Arrecife”.

The most outstanding feature of the Sevillian town of El Real de la Jara in terms of architecture at the service of the community is the municipal bullring, for which materials such as 19th century quarry stones were used.

Opened on 22 June 1905, it is one of the oldest bullrings in the province of Seville. It has a capacity for 2,380 people. Famous bullfighters have graced this arena, including Curro Romero, Paquirri, Pepe Luis Vázquez and the Peralta brothers.

The bullring, with one thousand-seat capacity, opened on 28 August 1994. Although initially it only had half a grandstand, the other half was added in 2010.

Although it is usually used for bullfights with young bulls and mounted bullfighting, it also features horse shows and amateur bullfights.

The bullring dates back to 1870 and was inaugurated on 20 June 1878 and rebuilt in 1942. The old bullring of the Sierra Norte of Seville is built of masonry, brick and wood and is polygonal in shape. The ring has a diameter of about 40 metres and has 4 bull pens, 1 stable, 1 corral for fighting cattle, an infirmary and a chapel.

Alcalá del Río’s bullring, built in 1950 to replace the traditional wagon ring, is classified as a third-tier bullring.

The bullring was reopened in February 2015 following its renovation. The city recovered this space not only for bullfights, which has a longstanding tradition in Alcalá del Río but also as a venue for other cultural events. 

Osuna’s Bullring was designed by Aníbal González. The construction began at the beginning of 1902 with ashlars from the ancient Roman city of Osuna. It was opened on 13 May 1904, with Montes and Chamaquito, the two most famous bullfighters at the time. The bullring was built to prevent the bullfights from taking place in the town squares.
