Spain: Melilla bullring history

Melilla bullring history begins in 1946 when the  bullring was opened with D. Antonio Pérez de San Fernando bullranch and with Pepe Luís Vázquez, Rafael Albaicín and Pepín Martin as the bullfighters.

First bullfight took place on officially finished bullring 1947 with Santa Coloma, Joaquin Buendía bullranches, with Gitanillo de Triana, Manolete and Pepín Martín Vázquez as the announced bullfighters although Manolete was killed by a bull only eight days before the inauguration in Linares bullring. The definitive inaugural bullfight was formed by Domingo Ortega, Gitanillo de Triana, Luís Miguel Dominguín and "Parrita".

Few photos of the bullring and guide Karim who was kind enough to show us the bullring.
