Bullring of Tolosa

Third class bullring that holds 5,500 people distributed in 5 "tendidos," sort of sections in a bullring. 

Besides the bullfights, "novilladas" and festivals, this ring is an important meeting centre, scene of the famous Tolosa Carnivals. At carnivals time, all kinds of celebrations take place such as the "toros embolados," a type of bullrunning where bulls wear protective fireballs on the horns. 
The bullring was open in 1903, with bullfighters such as "Guerrerito" and "Bonarillo." This ring is remarkable for its proportional shape and its extraordinary acoustics. It measures 37.5 metres and has a 1.8 metres-long alley. It is also equipped with two stockyards, 7 pens, horse yard and stables and infirmary.
