The bull fighting in Spain

Each country has its own things which distinguish it from the others. One of the things which distinguish Spain from other countries is its culture.

Today we’re going to talk about the bull riding and fighting in Spain. 

The Bull riding has annual competitions, held for seven to ten days. For this piece of time there is everyday bull riding and fighting.  The parties start in December and spread out through the rest of the following year. Must be mentioned, that the bull rides, are really close to the rodeos in US.

The bull riders win their living by traveling from a country to country and form a district to a district. Actually the first price is a large amount of money. The rodeo itself starts when the rider yells the Spanish word for door – puerta. Then there is a guy who opens the door to the arena where both the rider and the raided animal fight against each other in epic battle. The longest that stays over the bull wins the prize. Of course there are several other things which must be mentioned. There are judges which can vote for the bull riders and change the final outcome. The pleasure is found when watching the fighter trying to survive after he’s dropped from the bull. There are places where the bull fights are real show like for example in Marbella.You can take a room into a 5 star hotel in Marbella.

Another interesting thing which can be seen in Marbella is the Guanacastean parties. Basically this is a bull outrun. They leash young bulls to the streets of Marbella and the main thing is to outrun the bulls whithout being tramped, horned or whatever…
