The Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas is the most famous bullring in Madrid and in the World.
It´s placed in the neighborhood (barrio) of La Guindalera, in the district of Salamanca. It was inaugurated on 1931. It has a seating capacity of 25,000. Its style is Mudéjar (Moorish) with pottery incrustations.
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-three hours. The price of the seats depends upon how close they are to the "arena" and their location: under the sun or in the shade (the latter being more expensive).
