Bullfighting -- Tijuana's downtown bullring, the Toreo de Tijuana, has fallen to the wrecking ball, but the city still has bullfighting. The impressive Plaza Monumental (tel. 664/680-1808; www.plazamonumental.com), the bullring-by-the-sea in Playas de Tijuana, stages a season from about April to November. Contests are scheduled as often as every other Sunday (at 4pm). Ticket prices range from $12 to $100; premium seats are on the shady side of the arena. Tickets are for sale at the bullring or in advance in San Diego from Five Star Tours (tel. 619/232-5040; www.tjbullfight.com). If you want to catch the bullfights but don't want to drive, Five Star offers bus trips that depart from downtown San Diego; the price is $24 round-trip, plus the cost of your bullfight ticket. Or you can take a taxi from the border (about $20). You can find a nice English-language primer on bullfighting, as well as scheduling info, at www.bullfights.org.
