Arena - Beautiful visit to the arena, very engaging with audio guide. It's just a shame that inside there is a stage mounted for concerts, but understandable. Guy attendant, speaking Italian, very friendly. Recommended!

Very interesting visit. - Very interesting visit to Alicante Bullring,although it is very tired looking with rusting stanchions,paint peeling,and seats missing from the arena. The tour you do by yourself with audio,and it is well explained, you visit the medical room,the Chapel where the matador visits before entering the Bullring. There is also a very interesting museum with many pictures and artefacts. It culminates with a walk into the Bullring itself ,which does give you some idea what the matador is facing, with a 400 kilo bull coming at them.

I think the tour was Informative, I just don‘t support bull fights, even if it‘s culture - The Guide was really nice, and he answered all of our questions😊. The tour was really informative and good for a school trip.

Worth to see, entrance needs to be smoother - The visit was very interesting and nice. The museum was very nice and lots of things to see. The entrance procedure was not very good - only one lane, even if we already had the tickets we needed to wait in line for quite some time, mixed with the one that didnt had tickets already. What was worse is that their system didnt work and the line was even bigger. Suggest to have two lines - for the ones that already have tickets and for the onces that need to buy them at location.

Interesting - but not for the faint of heart - We bought a ticket (very cheap) because we wanted to learn more about Spain's bullfighting history. We were guided through the visit in English via a handheld player that we could press as needed. It worked well. It was interesting to see the arena and the various rituals leading up to a bullfight, but it was also a bit tough. Especially the various photographs and films you could see on the trip. Unfortunately, there was a tendency to romanticize the bull's life from birth until it is moved to the arena, and we think that is a shame. But otherwise worth an experience if you want to know a little about their culture.
