BULLFIGHTS AND FLAMENCO, SEVILLE
 
Will be in Seville july 4 and 5, would like to attend a bullfight on Sunday 4 july as I understand that bullfights are only on Sunday PM, and go to a Flamenco dance on Monday 5 July PM. My question is, how do I find out if there will be a bullfight on Sunday 4 July and is there Flamenco dancing on Monday 5 July at either Los Gallos or El Arenal, or wherever on Monday nite...lfdang

If you have made your hotel reservations, your hotel should be able to help you with tickets and giving times/dates.

Both those places have web sites. I know you can book on the Gallos one and their shows are twice a night, every night (9 pm and 11:30 pm). I went to Los Gallos a couple weeks ago and didn't reserve ahead, but you might want to as it could be more crowded then, I suppose.

El Arenal is about the same timing, and you can reserve on their web site, also.

I don't do bull stuff, but that arena has a good web site, also

It sounds like there are not regularly schedules ones in July/Aug but you might find one. Here is a site with a schedule and tickets, but does not list any for July.

There is no bullfighting event yet announced for July in Seville. Maybe later on they will post them, ususally there are some kind of amateur bullfights in the summer. Herre is a link to a website that will have them as soon as they are announced:

El Arenal has 2 shows every night of the week, at 9pm or 11pm. you can book at your hotel when you get here, it is not a busy time at all.
