Bullring of Atarfe

The Bullring of Atarfe is a modern venue featuring a metal framework topped by an adjustable roof system that opens or closes depending on weather needs. The arena seats about 5,500 spectators and hosts bullfighting events, sports competitions, and musical performances throughout the year.

The bullring was designed by architect Ricardo Aroca Hernández-Ros and opened to the public on July 22, 2005, in Granada province. This new venue quickly became an important gathering place for the region and continues to host major events.

The venue plays a central role in the town's festival calendar through bullfighting during the annual Feria de Santa Ana, celebrated around July 26, drawing visitors from across the region. This tradition shapes the cultural identity of the community and remains deeply rooted in local celebrations.

The venue is accessible and accommodates visitors from across the region for various events, with ample space for guests. The roof can be opened or closed depending on the type of event, so planning ahead about weather conditions is helpful when visiting.

This is the only covered bullring in the Granada region and features a mobile roof system that transforms the space according to specific needs. The innovative design allows the venue to quickly adapt to different types of events without major renovations.
