A Fateful Spanish Drama

When there's a splat of blood and vicious commotion, the world swiftly turns its head faster to the source. Ironically, we tend to recognize more with the drama of bereavement than of life! That's why even if it's bloody and utterly evil, we are held captive with the majesty of bullfighting in Spain.

Bullfighting is not just a saddistic duel but may be a harmful dance to death. One miscalculated step and the horn of the mad bull will find its way through the strong matador's skin. The red cape is not just a bizarre ornament nor a fashionable blunder, but a matador's way to eventually bring down the dangerous opponent inside the ring. Every step is a chance to strike back or to defend honor and while we see it more as harmless fad, bullfighting in Spain is bestowed with much respect for the courage and glory of stepping up to the challenge.

Little do people see, bullfighting commenced as a sports venture dedicated for aristocracy back in 711 A.D. Before, while royalty got to use horses, the regular bullfighters stood barefoot on the ground, facing the most harmful match of their lives. With intense drama and exciting anticipation, bullfighting is another open attraction and spectacle you'll surely love in Spain.
