2008 Spain / Barcelona / Arena "Toros Monumental"
Bullfight - corrida de toros - running of bulls, bullfight - a traditional Spanish spectacle. It originated in the Bronze Age in the Pyrenees (about 6 thousand years ago).
Bullfighting is divided into three parts (thirds) - peaks and picadores, banderillas and banderillero and matador.
In two hours, 3 matadors and 6 bulls perform - 20 minutes for each bull.
Plaza de Toros Monumental de Las Ventas, with a capacity of almost 25,000 spectators, was the largest bullring in Spain and one of the most significant in the world. It was built specifically for bullfighting in 1914, in the New Moorish style, the exposed brickwork is decorated with ceramic tiles.
On September 25, 2011, in Catalonia, the last bullfights took place at the Toros Monumental in Barcelona, due to the activity of animal rights activists. (and I managed to look :). Now there is a 6-storey shopping center :(
Bullfighting can still be seen in the cities of Spain: Cordoba, Bilbao, Estepona, Seville, Pamplona, Valencia, Malaga, Valladolid, Ronda, Madrid.
