The bullring of Malaga is called “La Malagueta”, and is a bullring with almost 150 years of history, which is extolled as one of the most emblematic in Spain, through which have passed the most important bullfighters and cattle ranches, which have provided countless afternoons to remember.
Located in the heart of the city, the bullring of La Malagueta is first class, and is characterised by its neo-Mudéjar style, in the shape of a hexadecagon, with a capacity for 9,032 people, and it is common for the bullring to hang the “no tickets” sign.
A city with a great bullfighting tradition, bullfights in Malaga take place at different times throughout the year, such as on the Saturday of Glory when the Picassina bullfight is held, and during the Malaga Fair in August. In total there are more than five bullfights a year which attract more than 50,000 spectators each year.
The bullring of Malaga was built in 1874 and designed by the architect Joaquín Rucoba. It is a bullring in a clear neo-Mudejar style with a unique hexadecagon shape, with a bullring of 52 metres in diameter and facilities that include 4 corrals, 10 stalls, stables, a corraleta for the testing of horses, a bullfighters’ room and an infirmary.
La Malagueta bullring was inaugurated on 11 June 1876 with a historic bullfight by the bullfighters Rafael Molina “Lagartijo”, Antonio Carmona y Luque “El Gordito”, and Manuel Rodríguez “Desperdicios”, who fought bulls from the Murube bull-ranch.
The bullring was declared a Historic-Artistic Site in 1976, coinciding with the centenary of its inauguration, and a Site of Cultural Interest in 1981.
Recently, in 2017 the Malaga bullring underwent a major refurbishment that kept it closed to the public for two years, which was characterised by the recovery of the original brick façade and its exterior decorative elements, being reopened in 2019, when it was 145 years since its first inauguration.
The Antonio Ordoñez Bullfighting Museum is located inside the bullring, where you can take a journey through the more than 100 years of history of the bullring through impressive bullfighting costumes, beautiful capes, photographs, sculptures related to the art of bullfighting or historical bullfighting posters in Malaga.
