The original bullring in Granada burned down in the early 1900s. The newer bullring, a striking Neo-Mudéjar structure first inaugurated in 1928, has recently become a trendy destination for food, nightlife and major concerts. Where the spaces beneath the grandstands once housed carpentry and auto workshops, there are now a variety of restaurants and bars. The first bar, Tendido 1, was the brainchild of the ring’s revitalization, Jesus Carillo, who unfortunately died before he could see his vision completed. To this add the modern music bar El Tercer Aviso, a flamenco bar called Ole y Ole, the gourmet restaurant La Ermita and the typically Andalucían tavern La Gran Taberna. And of course, there is the awesome spectacle of the bullfights (corridas), which are held from March to November. The biggest corridas take place during Granada’s annual Corpus Christi fair in late spring.
