Bullfighting

Another traditional spanish practice we were able to watch was the famous bullfighting. On the day we went, they fought with the females in order to choose the ones that are most aggressive so they could reproduce. Those that aren't aggressive enough are killed and used for meat. We watched five different bull fights, and I believe only one of them was aggressive enough to be able to reproduce. It was very interesting, but at the same time a little sad to see the bulls being teased. Although the bullfighters said that the bulls don't feel the pain because they have so much adrenaline running through their body, I couldn't help but feel bad for them. However, to be able to see the bullfighting was a great opportunity. Not only that, one of the bullfighters we watched is a famous bullfighter in Spain. If I overheard correctly, a few spaniards were saying that the bullfighter was so good that he made it boring, because the bull didn't even stand a chance. It was a great privilege and I really enjoyed it. We were given a great opportunity to take good photos while also being able to experience one of Spain's most famous cultural traditions.
