| Peñafiel, (Valladolid - Castilla y León) Spain |
This medieval square, called the Plaza del Coso, is found in the middle of Peñafiel and has been used for bullfighting, among other things, since the 15th century. This makes it one of the oldest bullfighting rings still used in Spain. Surrounding the square are private homes; however, since medieval times the right to use their windows and balconies during bullfights are owned by the town who auctions them off to the highest bidders. Access to the square is by means of two streets.
In the distance you can see the 9th century castle of Peñafiel which currently hosts the Wine Museum of Valladolid.
