Plaza Blas Infante

The Plaza Blas Infante

The Ronda audio-guided tour leads you to the Plaza Blas Infante, a large tree-lined space next to the arena, dedicated to a major figure of Andalusian identity.

A square dedicated to the memory of Ronda

The square brings together several monuments: the statue of Blas Infante, a key figure of Andalusian nationalism, as well as the busts of Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles, both attached to Ronda, and a monument to the bull installed near the arena. From this square, one accesses the Museo Taurino, located under the tiers and integrated into the complex of the Real Maestranza de Caballería. The museum presents two centuries of bullfighting culture: historic costumes and equipment, posters, objects linked to the Romero and Ordóñez families, paintings by Goya and a royal saddlery given by the House of Orléans. It also includes sections on the Andalusian horse and the history of the Real Maestranza, following the symbolic route of the bullfighter.
