Bullfights in Puerto Vallarta
La Paloma Plaza the toros
near Puerto Vallarta's Marina.
Traditional bullfights or
corridas de toros are
presented regularly each
Wednesday at La Paloma in the
Hotel Zone area, before the
Marina. Though certainly not for
everyone, bullfighting is a
tradition taken seriously in the
Latin culture and with a great
deal of pride by those involved.
Matadors appear in the
decorative "suit of lights" or
the sparkling costumes they wear
to confront the bulls. The
performances are colorful, but
first-time visitors should know
that it always ends badly
for the bull.
Bullfighting season begins in
November and lasts through
April, every Wednesday at 5 p.m.
at the La Paloma stadium.
The stadium is located directly
across the highway from the town
pier. Tickets are
approximately $25, and can
usually be arranged through
concierge services or travel
agents, as well as in person.
Tips: One side of the
arena is particularly shady for
those who want to avoid baking
in the sun while watching the
performance.
