The plaza de toros de Las Ventas, known simply as Las Ventas, is the largest bullfighting ring in Spain, located in the Guindalera quarter of the Salamanca district of Madrid. From 1913 to 1920, bullfighting gained such a momentum that Madrid`s former main bullring at the Carretera de Aragón was not big enough. It was José Gómez Ortega `Joselito` who complained about the necessity of a new monumental bullring, to open this part of Spain`s heritage and culture to the whole city of Madrid.
