Plaza Monumental in Mazatlan, Mexico
Mazatlan in Mexico has a very casual stance when it comes to tourism.
So, many visitors are unaware of the unique sights and attractions that
are available in this city. From Cathedrals, sports stadiums, and the
Machado Plaza there is much to see and do here. Being on the Pacific
coast lends to the magnificent beaches that have gained recognition
among surfers and sun bathers.
Mazatlan also maintains a tradition that has been around for nearly a
thousand years. Bull fighting has been a favorite in Spain and is
enjoyed by countless viewers. Bull fighting is seen as a test of Man
against Beast where stamina, endurance, and wits are challenged. Some
may see this sport as barbaric but bull fighting has remained an
important staple of tradition in Spain and will continue to be such for
years to come. Bull fighting was brought over by the Conquistadors and
has remained since. In Mazatlan, bull fighting can be seen in the Plaza
Monumental.
The Plaza Monumental is close to the Zona Dorada where most of the
tourist population stays. This area of Mazatlan is full of charm and
history and is worth exploring with many of the buildings dating to the
early 1900s. Afterwards, a trip to the Plaza Monumental will be in
order whether it is to take in a bull fight, rodeo, or any of the other
activities.
There are many who are against bull fighting for various reasons, but
the fact is that this tradition is very important and the chance to see
it performed in Plaza Monumental should not be missed.
