The End of an Era in Mexico

La Plaza de Toros México — once home to the roar of crowds and the drama of the bullfight — has made history. One of the largest bullrings in the world has announced that traditional bullfights will no longer take place.

The decision closes a chapter written over centuries, a tradition deeply woven into Mexico’s cultural identity. For some, it’s the loss of heritage; for others, it’s a victory for compassion and progress. Either way, it marks a definitive before and after in the nation’s story.
Now, the silence of the arena is not an end, but a beginning. The vast space opens itself to new possibilities: concerts, performances, and fresh expressions of art and culture.
This transformation is bigger than a building. It’s a reflection of Mexico itself — a country evolving, reimagining tradition, and shaping a future where old customs give way to new ways of living.
