In the bright city of Palma de Mallorca, where the Mediterranean Sea caresses its majestic cathedral and the narrow streets of the old town breathe history, bullfighting has always held a special place among its traditions. Amidst the scent of salt, the echo of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, and the welcoming nature of its people, the art of bullfighting has been experienced as an expression of culture and courage, reflecting the Mediterranean spirit that defines the island.
The most representative monument in Palma is the Palma Bullring, known as El Coliseo Balear. It was inaugurated in 1929 and is one of the most emblematic bullfighting venues in the archipelago. Its circular and monumental structure, with a capacity for more than 10,000 spectators, has been the scene of many glorious bullfighting afternoons.
During the summer, especially in July and August, Palma de Mallorca celebrates its traditional bullfighting festivities, coinciding with the peak tourist season.
The rest of the Balearic archipelago also has historic bullrings and bullfighting festivities, such as in Inca, where the love of fighting bulls has been kept alive for decades. These are places that today preserve the memory of a tradition that was part of the cultural heritage of the Balearic Islands.
