In the luminous Mediterranean city of Alicante, where the sea, the mountains, and the light of the Levante wind intertwine in perfect harmony, bullfighting is experienced with artistry, joy, and passion. A hospitable and festive land, Alicante has kept the bullfighting tradition alive as an essential part of its cultural identity. On bullfighting afternoons, the color of the sand blends with the sea breeze and the emotion of a loyal and enthusiastic fanbase.
One of the city's most representative monuments is the Alicante Bullring, inaugurated in 1848. It is one of the oldest and most emblematic bullrings in the Valencian Community. Neoclassical in style and with meticulous aesthetics, it combines history, comfort, and a vibrant atmosphere.
Every June, during the popular Bonfires of Saint John (Hogueras de San Juan), Alicante celebrates its traditional Hogueras Bullfighting Fair, one of the most anticipated events of the Spanish summer. During these days, the city blazes with festivities, fire, and passion, while the bullring hosts top-tier bullfights. It's a fair where Mediterranean joy blends with the art of bullfighting, offering a unique spectacle full of light and emotion.
The province of Alicante maintains a deep-rooted bullfighting tradition with charming bullrings such as those in Benidorm and Villena, where each year festivities combine culture, devotion, and popular celebration. The Benidorm Fair, in particular, stands out for its summery and cosmopolitan atmosphere, reflecting the open and joyful character of this Levantine region.
