Insight into a Spanish tradition - A stadium of 2. Category with interesting insights into the past of a Spanish tradition. The audio guide in German explains the most important places in the stadium. The staff was very accommodating. The teenagers enjoyed the VR glasses in the museum. We needed 90min (without guide) for the tour. The stop at the museum for the photo souvenir we can highly recommend.

Lovely staff - The tour was interesting and straight to the point. I most enjoyed the fact that you could stay and look around without being pressured to move forward. The staff was lovely the entire time, very helpful and warm.

Great- we recommend! - I recommend the place/ guided tour. It is good for families (inc kids). Stories we could listen to, the building itself, exhibits, pictures + VR experience which kids loved (all combined with sunny weather of course) made the place worth visiting.

Very interesting tour - A very interesting tour. It was very informative and gave us a very good understanding of the history of Bull fighting and how important the culture is to Spain. The commentary was excellent and the museum is very good.

A worthwhile experience - Didn't have any real plans on getting to Alicante, but was intrigued by the opportunity to explore the local Bullring, drawn in by a flyer handed out as we entered the town. The tour was reasonably priced and took about 1.5 hours. I found the history and tradition interesting and worthwhile, not finding the gore and blood letting overly celebrated. We took hand held audio devices and strolled throughout the building, seeing all aspects of it and ending in the arena itself. The ring itself is impressive with a beautiful backdrop of the surrounding hills, the view worth the walk to the arena. It includes a virtual experience which was great, though a little hot and a video which was the only part showing bulls being killed, easy to avoid if you want though. A worthwhile experience.

Interesting - Opted for self guided tour. Interesting and very informative as I knew nothing about the history of bull fighting. A bit of propaganda about the benefits of this ongoing tradition but overall an educational and informative activity.

Bull ring tour - A very interesting self guide tour with hand set for commentary. Was unsure about a tour as not sure I would go to a live bull fight. The tour explained all aspects of the Spanish culture of Bull fighting and the area etc. Got off the hop on hop off bus at the gate of the sreana. Took about 1 hour tour.
