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.
