The Museum of Bullfighting provides a fascinating look at the evolution of the sport, displaying costumes, capes, and other artifacts that reflect Spain’s cultural traditions.
The experience is capped with a walk around the upper tiers, where visitors can enjoy a panoramic view over Madrid’s rooftops and vibrant neighborhoods.
