Are you a fan of human-bovine combat?

If so, Maestranza’s the place for you.

This hallowed arena is Spain’s high temple of bullfighting.

Statues of great “toreros” line the perimeter, frozen in haughty poses. Inside, crimson barricades encircle the sandy space, silent witnesses to all manner of gory glory and bombastic swagger.

It’s haunting, magnificent and very divisive.
