The Plaza De Toros De Las Ventas Madrid 0 Euro Note is a 0 Euro Note dedicated to the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, known simply as Las Ventas, which is the largest bullfighting ring in Spain, located in the Guindalera quarter of the Salamanca district of Madrid. It was inaugurated on June 17, 1931. Its seating capacity of 23,798, makes it the third-largest bullfighting run in the world, after bullrings in Mexico and Venezuela. After the federal ban of bullfighting in Plaza México, Las Ventas is the second largest bullring in the world still in operation for its original intention. This bullring was designed by the architect José Espeliú in the Neo-Mudéjar (Moorish) style with ceramic incrustations. The seats are situated in ten "tendidos". The price of the seats depends upon how close they are to the arena and whether they are in the sun or the shade (the latter being more expensive). The bullfighting season starts in March and ends in October; bullfights are held every day during the San Isidro Fiesta, and every Sunday or holiday during the season. Bullfights start at 6 or 7pm and last for two to three hours. Las Ventas bullring is open all year for cultural visits under the name of Las Ventas Tour. The tour includes an audioguide translated into 10 languages and the visit to the bullring and its bullfighting museum. Read more
