Bullfights in Seville
The Maestranza in Seville is the oldest bullring in Spain, and home to the Feria de Abril.
The Seville Spring Fair, or Feria de Abril, is the most colourful festival held in the Andalusian capital. The fiesta lasts a week and is centred around flamenco, horse riding and, of course, bullfighting. The festival starts on Tuesday 28 April, but the bullfighting season began two weeks ago
