Poll: Beaches of Torrevieja
Which one do you prefer best?
MOVE FOR THE RETURN OF THE ‘CORRIDA’ TO TORREVIEJA.
A group of local bullfight fans, led by Francisco Boj, the spokesman for ‘Plataforma Taurina de Torrevieja’, have formed a pressure group with a view to the return of bullfights to the resort.
Including matadors, journalists, supporters and representatives of such associations as the ‘Friends of the May Fair’, the ‘Virgen del Rocio’ or the ‘Casa de Andalucia’, the group aim to press for the recontruction of a bullring in Torrevieja which would also serve as a venue for other public events. Back in 1969, a bullring was inaugurated in Torrevieja where fans enjoyed top quality ‘corridas’ but, more recently, the facility was demolished to make way for a housing project. According to the former nationally acclaimed matador, torrevejense Joselito Paya, the demolishing of the bullring was “one of the saddest days for our town.” The ‘Plataforma Taurina de Torrevieja’ intend to solicit backing for their plans from local politicians.Rate this article

A Torrevieja bull fight would not get the support that the Torrevieja futbol club does. Certainly not from the British.
I was so sad to hear that they destroyed the old one.
I witnessed my first bullfight there when I was 4 years old in 1989, and I hope that the next time I return to Torrevieja I will be able to witness Spanish culture at its best yet again.
But if the Spanish want it, in Spain, that is their choice. If foreigners like myself do not like it, that is our problem.
When will the British learn, that we cannot tell other people how to run their own countries.
If we don't like it, we can always leave.
Personally, I think that Spain is the most wonderful country and I love it here.

If the Spanish want it, in Spain, that is their choice.
Yes, this is Spain and it is for the Spanish people to decide.
If you don't like the Spanish culture and their way of life, go back to where you came from, I can assure you, you will NOT be missed. Don't try and turn Spain into little Britain.
I came here to live with the Spanish people and enjoy their way of life and to get away from Ripoff UK.
I sincerley hope that ALL ex pats have learn't to speak the language and customs.
Viva Espana, viva la corrida !
1. at recent bullfights in Madrid, there were substantial protests by Spanish people against the events and one fight was completely disrupted and cancelled. Not all Spanish are pro - bullfighting.
2. Sell your house - who are you kidding ? I have mine on the market undervalued at 150,000 and the best offer so far is 120,000 euros.
Yo soy una irlandesa que vive en España hace 3 años, y TODA la cultura de españa me encanta. Yo y mi familia hemos disfrutado flamenco, tapas, el sol, el ambiente Y la corrida a varios veces, y si vuelve mas cosas españolas a Torrevieja, ¡que vaya! Si unos ingleses con opiniones cerrados quien, te lo juro, ni se unen en la cultura ni la lengua de este pais tan diverso, que no sería una lástima a decir adios a ellos. España para los españoles y los amantes del pais.....con su bueno y su malo.
Que dejamos a Espana sus especialidades
