In the welcoming city of Ciudad Real, where the plains of La Mancha stretch to the horizon and the spirit of Don Quixote permeates every corner, bullfighting is experienced with authenticity, pride, and passion. A land of deep-rooted traditions and noble character, Ciudad Real embodies the essence of Castilian bullfighting, where courage, artistry, and emotion converge in every bullfight, reflecting the soul of La Mancha.
One of the city's most iconic landmarks is the Ciudad Real Bullring, inaugurated in 1843 and rebuilt in 1951. It is one of the oldest and most emblematic bullrings in Castilla-La Mancha. With its Neo-Mudéjar style and meticulous architecture, its warm atmosphere and knowledgeable fans make it a benchmark for bullfighting in central Spain.
Every August, during the Ciudad Real Fair and Festivals, the city dresses up to celebrate its traditional Virgen del Prado Bullfighting Fair. It's a highlight of the La Mancha summer, featuring top-tier bullfighting lineups, where the excitement of the bulls blends with the vibrant atmosphere, music, and hospitality that characterize this region.
The province of Ciudad Real boasts a rich bullfighting tradition, with renowned bullrings such as those in Almagro, Alcázar de San Juan, Almodóvar del Campo, Daimiel, and Puertollano. In all of these towns, the passion for fighting bulls remains alive through festivals and celebrations that reflect the pride and bullfighting spirit of La Mancha. The square-shaped Almagro bullring, in particular, is a unique architectural gem in Spain.
