Drawn in by the oriental looking towers we suddenly found ourselves in the bullfighting arena La Monumental, right in the middle of a residential area of Barcelona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
La Monumental is a bullfighting arena that was opened in 1914. It was designed in the late Modernisme style and has 26 rows with space for 19500 spectators. Bullfights were held here until 2011 and even today the arena looks ready so that visitors almost expect to find a snorting bull in the stables. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
