Great Photo Essay
Thanks Katie! This is a great photo essay. I saw a bullfight at Feria de Malaga (http://www.worldisround.com/articles/12896/photo22.html) - a lot of people in Australia and US oppose it without seeing it for what it is - a traditional and cultural event, which although maybe seen as cruel in our countries, is not for us visitors to judge. Experiencing a bullfight is a great cultural experience in Spain.

Good job
Thank you for a very, very thorough story, Katie. Now I never have to see another bullfight!
