Ronda Plaza de Toros — Spain’s Oldest Bullring Board

Souvenir cutting board featuring the Plaza de Toros de Ronda — the birthplace of modern bullfighting and one of the most beautiful bullrings in the world. Built in 1785, its elegant neoclassical double arcade of 136 Tuscan columns makes it an architectural masterpiece. It was here that Pedro Romero established the rules of modern corrida, fighting on foot instead of horseback. Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles both loved Ronda and wrote about its bullfighting traditions. The annual Corrida Goyesca in September recreates 18th-century bullfights in period costume.
