This panoramic photograph of Madrid''s famous Plaza Monumental de las Ventas was taken by James Blakeway. It features Spain''s premier bullring. With a capacity of 22,000 seats, it is the largest bullring in Spain and attracts the top bullfighters, who appear before a demanding and knowledgeable crowd. Las Ventas was built in the Mudejar style, characteristic of many bullrings, with brick walls and ceramic decoration. Between 70 and 72 bullfights are held every year beginning in April. Since medieval times, the most popular entertainment in Madrid has been bullfighting.
