Plaza de toros

Corrida or bullfight in Tenerife. The last bull was killed for the entertainment of spectators in Tenerife on December 18, 1983. In 1991, the province also banned this entertainment by law. Anyway, the Santa Cruz arena, which was built in 1892, no longer has a purposeful use and is gradually falling into disrepair. At the turn of the century, this colossus was handed over to private hands, and in 2008 an international competition of ideas was organized to revive this blood-soaked piece of land, but the winning work has not been implemented.
