History
The Fuengirola Bullring was inaugurated on 8 July 1962, featuring bullfighters César Girón, Manuel Segura, and José Martínez "Limeño".[3] In 2012, the bullring underwent a major renovation, adding a commercial area and accessibility improvements, and was reinaugurated on 6 October with bullfighters El Cordobés, El Fandi, and Juan José Padilla, with bulls from Benjumea.[4]
Transition to a cultural center
In February 2023, the bullring was purchased for €4.5 million by a Swedish investment group led by entrepreneur Marc Skarman through Arena Solo Málaga SL.[5] After over two years of renovations, the plaza reopened in May 2025 with new facilities, including a theater, restaurant, art gallery, and event spaces.[6]
