Plaza de Toros de El Bibio
Plaza de Toros de El Bibio, Bullring in Gijón, Spain
The Plaza de Toros de El Bibio features a Neo-Mudéjar design with exposed brick walls, three levels, and a seating capacity of 9,258 spectators.
Built in 1888, the bullring hosted its first event with matadors Luis Mazzantini and Rafael Guerra, and later served as a concentration camp during 1937.
The bullring holds performances during the Feria de Nuestra Señora de Begoña in August, marking a central point of summer celebrations in Asturias.
Located at Avenida de la Costa 1, the facility maintains regular guided tours and hosts music concerts throughout the year beyond traditional bullfighting events.
The structure forms a sixteen-sided polygon with two connected buildings, including a monumental southern entrance integrated into the Camino del Norte route.
