With these 2 posts i'm concluding my Spanish series.
But let's go back to Spain:
Corrida - well, it was a first ever corrida for me and i have mixed feelings about it. It's part of spanish culture but if you love animals, you should definetely skip it.
I don't think i will ever go see corrida again, it was a strange experience for me.
On a bright side, torreros wore fabulous costumes, public was really into it and the weather was beautiful.
I learned couple of things there: if the public like the torrero (he's brave and swift) they start waving white handkerchieves in the air and the torrero gets awarded bull's ear or a tail.
If torrero is not good enough (scared and clumsy) public will start clapping rythmically and cat-call.
It takes 6-8 people to kill 1 bull.

Wow! Hope, everyone is ok (both the bull and torrero
Well, no, bull is not OK. Bull gets killed at the end.
Torrero, sometimes gets trampled by the bull. As a matter of fact , 2 of them did while we watched. But they jumped right back, much to the public's delight.
Poor bull :(( cruel show ...
К сожалению, да.
I try to think of things like this as a cultural experience, but as a vegetarian/animal lover, I don't know if I would have the stomach to watch. I do like the costumes though - I'm impressed with any man who can rock some serious bling! ;) Great post, as always - love living vicariously through your pictures!
Hello! I can not say this is culture...The human must not kill animals as they do...
