According to official data from the Ministry of Culture, the number of bullfighting shows in the bullring has maintained a sustained decline from 2015 onwards, not counting the years of the pandemic.

According to the Ministry of Culture, said Guerreño, only 8 per cent of the population attended a bullfighting show in the 2018­2019 period.

Only 5.9 per cent of them attended a bullfight at a bullring, and a fifth of all attendees did so with free admission.

The same study indicates that 80 per cent of bullfighting events in Spain are concentrated in the provinces of Madrid, Toledo, Salamanca, Ávila and Cuenca.

At present, the Canary Islands and Catalonia are considering abolishing bullfighting.

In Asturias this type of event has also ceased to be held after the city of Gijón’s decision not to allow them.

In the Balearic Islands, regulations were approved in 2017 to follow in the footsteps of the rest of the Autonomous Communities that have prohibited bullfighting, but the Constitutional Court reversed this progress, at the request of the government of Mariano Rajoy, who had declared it as cultural heritage in 2013.

There are just two municipalities in Mallorca which allow bullfighting, and these are Inca and Palma.
