Parking in the Plaza de Toros de Alicante

The Alicante Bullring is located close to the Historic Centre: between the Castle of Santa Barbara and the Castle of San Fernando, and the José Rico Pérez Stadium.

It is very difficult to park in the narrow streets surrounding the Plaza de Toros de Alicante as parking spaces are very limited and are usually occupied by the residents of the area. On the other hand, in the busier streets you will find more parking spaces, although these are regulated parking (blue zone).

On event days, moreover, thousands of people also come looking for a place to park their cars, which makes it very difficult to find a parking space. For this reason, we recommend to book a parking space and save the time wasted driving around with your car.
