I spent 12 days traveling in Costa Rica last November. The Costa Rican landscape is peppered with small villages. A typical village center has a church and a soccer field, and further out there is, not uncommonly, a large round cake of a building, a bull fighting arena.

Everyone who has been there will tell you Costa Rica is a beautiful country. Although I took around 500 pictures while I was there, I didn't feel particularly inspired. I think I was just too busy relaxing. However, towards the end of my visit, I spent a couple of days at a hotel in Monteverdi, and there was a bullring nearby. It captured my attention, and I visited it a couple of times to get these photos.

The ticket window.

I got the impression from a local informant that the arena was not much used any more, at least, not for bullfighting.

Emergency entrance.

On my first visit the big door was standing open. The next day it was closed. But I found another way in.

Near the restrooms behind the arena, one of the corrugated panels had been removed.

This the main entrance, standing open. To the left, over the wall, are the cattle pens.
