History
Records of bullfights in Algeciras on an informal and irregular nature go back to 1765, but the first formal fight was in 1851 when a square was built that held 8,000 people. By 1866 this was considered inadequate and a group of people got together to buy the existing bullring and rebuild it. The new ring was ready by 1868 and it served well for a hundred years. However by 1969 the ring was again to small and because the town now surrounded it is could be not be expanded. A new bullring was built in 1969. Since then a grant of over 100,000 Euros has enabled a new classroom to be built for the bullfighting school.References
