Corrida de Toros



When I was in Madrid, about two weeks ago now, we went to see a Corrida de Toros, what we know in English as a bull fight. But, here in Spain it is not a sport to kill the bull but rather it is an art form, much like a dance between the bull fighter and the bull. Here are some pictures of the type of attire worn by the bull fighter and the ring.
I thought this was all really gross, so the pictures do not include any of the actual killing :)
