Is Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas worth it for foodies?
SkipFor food
Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas is the wrong stop for food & drink.
Architecturally it's a stunning Moorish-revival arena, and the guided tour or museum gives real insight into a contested tradition. The catch is the obvious one: an actual corrida involves the killing of bulls, which many visitors find ethically unacceptable — the building impresses, the spectacle divides hard.
