My mom says visiting this bullring was a waste of time. After a morning walking tour, we decided to walk to this bullring that apparently was walking distance and not too far away from Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay’s city center.
There was a long walkway for pedestrians for the majority of our walk. 30 minutes into this walking journey, I was starting to wonder how far exactly this ‘tourist attraction’ was. We kept walking though because we reasoned that we already went this far so we may as well have kept going. So we did.
We walked along a major road and the coast of the Rio de la Plata, very close to Buenos Aires. There were many apartments being constructed, people exercising and several cars passing by. It was early May which is fall here in the southern hemisphere and thankfully wasn’t too cold on that day.
Finally after one and a half hours, we reached the bullring. The full name is Plaza de Toros Real de San Carlos. We walked 7 kilometers just to take this picture:
That’s a forced smile. Because we walked 7 kilometers and the bullring wasn’t even open. It was fenced up so you can’t even touch the walls. And this is why my mom said visiting this bullring was a waste of time. And I agree.
