THE BULLRING


    Hi everybody!

    I would like to tell you something interesting about a very famous monument in San Roque: the bullring.

    Our bullring was built in 1853, being the second oldest one in Cádiz, and one of the ancient bullrings of Spain. It was inaugurated in August 1853, in the fair of San Roque. Firstly, it was circled by forest, but little by little, the area was built and nowadays it is in the town centre.

    This place is used in the local fair in August and lots of important bullfighters have been here. The bullring was always private and just now, 20 years ago (in 1993) was bought by the Town Hall.

SOMETHING ABOUT SAN ROQUE


    Hello everybody!

    As you know, my name is Curro Manzano and I am a member of 'A new world of possibilities'.

    This term we are working on San Roque. I am the person in charge of looking for information about the geographic, municipal and social situation of this village.

    San Roque is located in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. It is a village where there are 25,000 people living here, distributed in the town itself and its surroundings. Our village is formed by the city centre and the ten districts: Campamento, Puente Mayorga and Guadarranque (the area of the bay); Sotogrande, San Enrique, Guadiaro, Pueblo Nuevo and Torreguadiaro (the area of the Mediterranean Sea and the Valley of Guadiaro); and Taraguilla and La Estación (the inland area).

    San Roque belongs to the 'Campo de Gibraltar', an area which incorporates different towns of the south of Spain, in the province of Cádiz.

    That is all for now! I will inform you soon about more interesting aspects of San Roque and its surroundings.
