Among the labyrinthine rock formations for which Chequilla is famous, one picturesque spot stands out: the bullring.

This is where bull races and bullfights were traditionally held. The area was enclosed with wooden beams, and the rocks forming the plaza were filled with people and served as stands.

This bullfighting festival takes place on August 20th during the festivities in honor of the Holy Christ and is enlivened by street parties, popular food, and religious processions.

It is one of the most famous and popular events in Chequilla, a traditional event that has taken place for many years. It is closely linked to the importance of livestock and transhumance in this area and may have originated here.
