Plaza de toros de Santander

The Neo-Mudéjar style building features decorative arches, iron elements, and stone masonry work across its circular structure with a diameter of 51 meters.

The arena, designed by architect Alfredo de la Escalera y Amblard, opened its gates on July 25, 1890, replacing a smaller venue that held 6,700 spectators.

The Santiago Fair, held each summer, presents six regular bullfights, one charity event, a novice fight, and mounted bullfighting competitions.

The venue accommodates 10,045 spectators after a 2013 renovation that improved access and circulation throughout the multiple tiers of seating.

The upper arcade displays emblems of Spanish bull breeding farms, including a special design featuring a crab with the letter S for Santander.
