Alcudia bullring, Bullring in Alcúdia, Spain
The Alcudia bullring is a circular arena with about 3,600 seats, the smallest of the five bullrings on Mallorca. It stands northeast of the historic old town at Calle de la Plaça de Toros 1 and is run by the association Alcúdia Taurina under a concession from the city. A café inside the arena is open outside event times.
The sources do not record a construction date for the Alcudia bullring. By the 2000s most use of the arena was for non-bullfighting events, and in 2010 only one bullfight a year was held, with young bulls, against about 30 other events. A bullfight on 24 July 2016 drew protests from some 30 animal-rights campaigners.
The arena is run by the Alcúdia Taurina association under a concession from the town.
