Plaza de Toros de Pontevedra
Before the existence of the bullring, the bullfighting took place since the 17th century in the Herrería and Alhóndiga squares, closing the entrances with boards and reserving the right to use the windows of some houses to watch the festivities.[5] In 1892, the captain of the artillery, Benito Calderón Ozores, brother of the Marquise of Riestra and son-in-law of Eugenio Montero Ríos, in association with two people from Córdoba, promoted the construction of a wooden bullring in the Campo de la Torre, on the same site as the current stone bullring.The sunny stands of the bullring are full of peñas who, with their colourful clothes and joy, create a great atmosphere every afternoon of the bullfight.The feria de la Peregrina is one of the bullfighting cycles of the Spanish season that has the best box-office results, generating great expectation from its posters.[14] The bullfighting activity is concentrated in the Feria de La Peregrina, patron saint of the province of Pontevedra, which is held every year from the second Sunday of August.
