The bullring in Alcudia will no longer host bullfights. The town hall intends to change the use of the oldest arena in Mallorca to cultural and social purposes. The mayor, Bàrbara Rebassa, has confirmed that this will be the case, now that the concession for managing the arena has expired.
Built in 1892 in the Sant Ferran bastion of the Renaissance wall, which in turn dates from the 17th century, the bullring is the oldest arena on the island, and Alcudia has been one of the island's main bullfighting locations.

The final project has yet to be fully defined, but "the idea is to turn it into a centre of activities for associations and cultural groups and, if this is possible, to set up rehearsal rooms for musicians". "That it will no longer be a bullring is something that we are clear about, we will make a change to sociocultural use. Although there are those who defend bullfights as a cultural asset and the law obliges bullfighting use to continue, the fact is that the arena does not comply with the regulations."
