The Plaza Blas Infante, right next to Ronda’s bullring, is a broad, tree-lined square dedicated to Blas Infante, a key figure in Andalusian identity. It brings together several monuments: the busts of Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles, who both had a deep affection for Ronda, the statue of Blas Infante himself and the monument to the fighting bull placed near the Plaza de Toros. From here, you can walk straight into the Museo Taurino, located beneath the bullring’s stands and forming part of the Real Maestranza de Caballería complex. The museum traces two centuries of bullfighting culture with historic costumes and equipment, old posters, pieces linked to the Romero and Ordóñez families, paintings by Goya and a royal saddlery offered by the House of Orléans. You’ll also find sections devoted to the Andalusian horse and to the history of the Real Maestranza. The visit follows the symbolic path of the torero, from the preparation rooms to the edge of the arena, giving you a clear sense of the importance of bullfighting and Ronda’s equestrian heritage.
