controversial spectacles in the world!
A bullfighting show is usually on the top 10 list of traditional Spanish activities, along with the famous flamenco dancing, the tasty tapas or the refreshing and

of the Mediterranean ecosystem; el toro de lidia, the brave bull!

It is one of the most famous Spanish festivities, and probably one of the oldest in the world. Bullfighting season in Spain goes from spring to autumn and is
often a featured part of regional festivity. If you are looking for the heart of bullfighting, you should head to Andalucía, where many of Spain’s oldest bullrings
are found in cities like Sevilla, Córdoba, or Ronda.
… but what can we expect from a bullfighting show?
