I love Seville and if ever I get that chance again....me wanna spend more time ya.
So, to maximize my short stay there.....Lorraine (my Aussie friend) was with me and suggested the Hop On & Hop Off Bus :D
I love it and i highly recommended it coz that's what I did when I was alone in Barcelona on my way back home. (That's another post :D)
The 'Plaza De Toros' (Bullring) of The Real Maestranza in Seville is one of the most visited monuments of the city.
I never imagine soaking in this spirit of bull-fighting ring even though it is not the season yet. I was told it is between April to Oct every year.
Can you see the numbering of the seats? This is so cool.
Strange but true, I was mesmerized in this moment playing out the 'fight' in my mind....'seeing' the bulls waiting in the barricade.
It was a chance of a life time to be here and I am so glad Lorraine suggested dropping off at this point for a tour.
After visiting the Bull Ring, we were ushered to the Museum located beneath the seating of the stadium with all the exhibits.
We were told, this 'small suit' belongs to a young teen, a very young bull-fighter...can you imagine that?
Collection of prints and photographs all related to the art of Bull-fighting.
I was told.....at the end of the fight....the bull will die.....Arrrrghhhh.....so sad.
Statue showing dragging of the dead bull.
I hope you have all enjoyed this historical site of Spanish Bull Fighting Museum and the Ring :D
