Bullfighting In Barcelona?

[MS_Indy_Queen]

Hi,

 

I have been checking online and can't seem to find much information on this. I noticed there is a placed called the Plaza De Toros Monumental that is by La Sagrada Familia, but I am wondering if those bullfights are still active? I know they are places in Madrid, but was curious if there was any in Barcelona? Any help would be appreciated.

 

Also looking for a Flemenco restaurant in Barcelona as well.

 

Thanks

I think I found my own answer on the bullfighting. It was banned in 2004 in Barcelona and the place listed online is now a museum.

 

Any recommendations for any restaurants that have Flamenco dancers perform?

Bullfights are not banned in Barcelona and you usually have "corridas" in spring and summer on Sundays. You may find information here:

Thank you for the info, although it looks like they won't have it when I'm there in early May. Although I just tried putting in a date listed on the top page and I don't see tickets listed (I looked up April 19th and May 17th). Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Thank you! I first went here and saw Plaza de Toros Monumental listed, I did a search online and read it's a museum so it's a bit confusing actually.

It seems that they are not listed yet.
