History & Culture

Bull fighting, it belongs in the Spanish culture.

Bull fighting is shown on the Spanish television a lot, but also a lot of bull running is done in little towns and villages in the fiesta season.

A lot of men and boys try to be like their idol, the matedor (or toreador). They love it!

I am well aware that it is not everyone's cup of tea, but it is a real part of the Spanish culture.    Here's a link to find out where the fights are held and when.   www.portaltaurino.com/portal.htm
