Instead, after the fourth bull, <em>pe\u00f1as<\/em> seated in the sunny sections of the stands and spectators in the shaded areas simply unpack their food. For this reason, many matadors are reluctant to be the first to perform in these bullrings \u2014 to <em>open the bill<\/em>, as the expression goes \u2014 as they feel that, during this bull, spectators are paying more attention to what they are eating than to what is happening in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>The other major area where <em>la merienda<\/em> at bullfights is a deeply rooted tradition is the Mediterranean coast, especially in its southern stretch, which includes the provinces of Alicante, Murcia and Almer\u00eda. These are all very <em>torera<\/em> bullrings \u2014 friendly and generous in character \u2014 where matadors are treated with warmth and affection, and <em>la merienda<\/em> becomes the most important social moment of the afternoon. Here, the bullfight does stop between the third and fourth bull to allow spectators to regain their strength. The same also happens in <strong>Albacete<\/strong>, an inland bullring not far away geographically, although its audience tends to be more demanding when judging what happens in the arena.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08f1559 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"08f1559\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.servitoro.com\/en\/1537-bullfight-tickets-almeria-feria-de-almeria.html\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Plaza de toros de Almer\u00eda\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ambiente-almeria-merienda-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10804\" alt=\"La merienda en Almer\u00eda\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ambiente-almeria-merienda-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ambiente-almeria-merienda-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ambiente-almeria-merienda-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ambiente-almeria-merienda-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.servitoro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ambiente-almeria-merienda.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The atmosphere in the Almeria bullring<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54487e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54487e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>By contrast, there are bullrings where this tradition is not widespread, mainly in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.servitoro.com\/en\/220-bullfight-tickets-madrid-las-ventas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #fa38c9;\">Madrid<\/span><\/strong><\/a> or <strong>Seville<\/strong>, probably the two most serious and demanding venues on the circuit.

Therefore, our final conclusion \u2014 and our last piece of advice \u2014 is that every bullring has its own personality. You can enjoy both the spectacle and the atmosphere in different ways depending on the place. The important thing is to blend in, experience the event without inhibitions, and follow that old saying: <em>\u201cWhen in Rome, do as the Romans do.\u201d<\/em> Enjoy your
