Festivals in the bullring

Mozo haciendo un recorte al toroThe Bullring is packed for the bullfights, with their blood and sun. lt also welcomes, however, other spectacles for children and older folk to enjoy. Some fiestas camperas (amateur bulifights, where the young bull is not killed), The traditional corrida vasco-landesa, where acrobatic young rnen spare the bulls their lives, leaping over their heads as they approach, above the horns, while their companions prepare a kind of nervous dance to attract the animal's attention and get ready for their 'flying bullfight'. In particular, the increasingly popular concurso de recortadores, where strong, fast young men swerve in front of the bull (the recortes) in a kind of risky familiarity with the animal and tremendous self-confidence, especially in their legs!
