The Linares Bullring, also known as the Santa Margarita Bullring, was built in 1866, and inaugurated a year later with a Miura bullfight, with the presence of the swordsmen Antonio Carmona, "El Gordito" and Manuel Carmona , "Baker".

The most well-known and outstanding event that occurred in this arena is the death of the bullfighter Manolete in August 1947, gored by the bull Islero. Next to the gang gate there is a ceramic and marble plaque commemorating that tragic afternoon at the fair.

It has a ring 50 meters in diameter and its alley 1.30 meters wide. It has a capacity of 10,500 spectators.

It was built in 1866 and inaugurated in 1867 with a bullfight featuring bulls from the Miura ranch.
