One of the most famous symbols of Spain is the bullfight, a fascinating event that attracts thousands of people from all over the world. If you come to Madrid, you cannot afford to miss the opportunity to visit a bullring. Our activity starts exactly there, with a visit to the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas (Las Ventas Bullring). On this tour you will get to know this place, full of passion and soul, where the best bullfighters of the world show their art and skills. During our visit, we will see the arena, the spaces between the inner and outer barriers, the stables and the bull pens where everything begins, and we’ll get a global comprehension of the Fiesta by putting ourselves in the place of the three protagonists of the bullfight: the audience; the bullfighter; and the bull.
If you want to learn more about typical Spanish traditions, we will continue with a flamenco class where you’ll get to know the basics of this passionate Spanish art form. A professional dancer will provide an introduction to flamenco, highlighting the fundamental concepts of the dance. In this fun one-hour class, you will become familiar with the different postures, and how they influence the elegant dance; the movement and coordination of feet, arms and hands; foot tapping; and “palmas” (hand-clapping).
And after learning all about flamenco and Spanish culture, what better way to finish than a delicious tapas meal with some good wine and an authentic flamenco show. Join us and discover Spanish culture through its gastronomy, art, and music.
