Holding bullfighting festivals since the 14th century.
In Puebla de Sancho Pérez we find what is said to be the oldest bullring in Spain, as it dates back to the 14th century. It is rectangular-shaped and has a capacity for 2,000 spectators. One peculiarity about this bullring is that it has no chapel, but there is a small shrine adjoining it.
