I am living in Spain, Bullfighting is the most traditional of Spanish Fiestas. The Spanish people consider this art forms which are intimately linked with their country’s history, art and culture.  Pressure groups attempt to lobby against bullfighting yet the King of Spain himself has allegedly stated that the day the EU bans bullfighting is the day Spain leaves the EU.

Bullfighting can be traced back to ancient days. This art popular spectacles in ancient Rome, but it was in the Iberian Peninsula that these contests were fully developed by the Moors from North Africa who overran Andalucia in AD 711. Bullfighting developed into a ritualistic occasion observed in connection with feast days, on which the conquering Moors, mounted on highly trained horses, confronted and killed the bulls.

Romero’s grandson, Pedro Romero, developed all the passes and moves which to this day are seen at a bullfight. He retired in his eighties after killing more than 5,600 bulls without ever being hurt. Thus Ronda is considered the home of bullfighting.

Bullfighting season in the Spain is March to October. In bullfighting season, there are two games will be held every Thursday and Sunday. If it is in the festival and National Day, people can watch it every day.

You can visit the bullring in Ronda which houses a small bullfighting museum. The bullfighting season in Ronda is from April to October though fights are quite infrequent. Check with the tourist office next to the bullring.

Spanish people are enthusiastic and full of passion, they all love bullfight very much. Bullfighting is a unique scene of Spain and it is famous in the world. Although people are dispute this activity from the point of view of animal protection, but as the traditional festival in the Spain, it also welcomed by many people.

Cattle show in Spain also gradually lost past scenery, appearing twilight scene. In July 2001, Spain announced a ban on sales of dead male beef in the market. But selling bull beef is the main income of the cattle-breeders, the ban means that they will be unable to afford the high cost of domesticated and give up raising bulls. Even the world famous Spanish bullfight there will be no bull fights. Bullfighting is the traditional program of Spain, and other countries seem to haven’t carry out this project.

People always feel like that Spanish bullfight very cruel, but today there is a another view about the bull: with respect to pulled the us to the slaughterhouse directly, let us struggled with the Matado may be more humane. Because in this process, as a bull, we can also like a man with honor and soul. Since we destined to be eaten by human beings, why not let us have the opportunity to take revenge?”
