Plaza de toros de La Malagueta is a striking bullring built in the 1870s, located along Malaga's coastal promenade. Its neo-Mudejar style with horseshoe arches and colorful tiles makes it an architectural landmark. Today, it remains an active venue for bullfights during the season, as well as concerts and other events. Visitors can explore the on-site museum, which displays bullfighting costumes, posters, and memorabilia, offering insight into this controversial tradition. The ring itself is impressive, with a sand arena and shaded seating. Even if you skip an event, the exterior and museum provide a glimpse into Spanish culture.
