Plaza de Torros de Roquetas de Mar

Description

Inaugurated on July 19, 2002, the Roquetas de Mar Bullring has become a benchmark of the National Fair in our province. Julián López “El Juli”, Finito de Cordoba and Jesús de Almería were the first teachers to successfully decorate a modern, spacious and spectacular bullfighting thing. With capacity for 7,800 people, the Plaza de Toros has hosted celebrations for history. The presence of "the vitorinos", who for the first time stepped on the long history of this illustrious livestock in the province of Almeria, or "the miura" accompanied by an enviable cast of teachers have placed the town on the most important agendas in the world of bull in our country, a fact that has been recognized with countless awards. Nine fairs have drawn between young and chicuelinas a young but dynamic, novel but increasingly expert, humble but eager to win square. Enrique Ponce, Julián López “El Juli”, Manzanares, El Fandi, Perera, Rivera Ordoñez, Cayetano, Padilla or the Almeria, Ruiz Manuel and Torres Jerez, among others, have been assiduous and faithful to what is known as the “Coso Salinero”. © iStockphoto/catolla
