La Merced Bullring

You can find the bullring at the foot of the Barrio del Conquero, and only three blocks from the Cathedral of Mercy. As in many other parts of Andalusia, in Huelva it is a great hobby. The bullring has always been located in this square, but the one that you see today is the third bullring built here. It is relatively new, opened in 1984. The facade is very eye-catching, with vivid red, yellow and blue colours, combined with mud bricks taken from the Odiel. It is also very large, occupying the entire block and has a capacity for 7,123 spectators. The main bullfights take place during the Columbian holidays (first week of August) and La Cinta (1st week of September).
