In 2003 the City Council sold for a suspiciously low price the bullring's plot to a local entrepreneur with property interests in the adjacent plots. The entrepreneur agreed to build a new, covered bullring with top modern equipment, but that would remain his property. In 2004 the bullring is opened, but a long list of defects prevent it from obtaining a permanent activity license Since then it has only obtained provisory licenses in order to be able to celebrate the annual bullfighting festival, the rest of the time (with very few exceptions) has been closed.
