The coast of Málaga perfect for relaxation
Bullfighting is very important in the european country of Spain because it is something that has become tradition. There are special places were the bulls are taken care of so that they grow up to be different for different bullfights. In bullfighting the more aggressive the bull is the harder it is to kill the bull. Murcia and Cantabria are two of the places were bull fighting still takes place and is still very important. People are able to stay in Murcia and Cantabria hotels finding cheap flights . In a bull fight there will usually be three toreros and six bulls. Each torero ( spanish most of the time) will have two bulls who they will need to bull fight . They will each fight one bull in the first round and then follow the second round with another bull each. A bull fight begins when the “paseíllo” opens up and everyone who is going to be a part of the bullfight parades in the pen. The alguaclillos are on their horses and they look for a special key that will open the bulls door. After them the three toreros enter along with their members of the cuadrilla who are the “bandilleros” and “picadores.” At the very end the “mozos” and “mulas de arrastre” go in. The people that parade at the end are the ones that clean up and pick up the bull with the help of some horses. When the door opens and the bulls enter the plaza the crowd goes wild with anticipation. There is when the tradition of bull fighting officially begins. There are three parts to a bull fight. In the first part the “picadores” hear a noise and that is their cue to go into the plaza. Second there should be three pairs of “banderillas” on the bull that will make him bleed. Last of all the toreros will try to kill the bull with a sword that will pierce the bull´s heart. This is why they say bull fighting is an art, because the torero must know when and where exactly he must pierce the animal´s heart. If this is something that might no be very appealing to you it is very understandable. Many people do not want to see when an animal gets killed. But, if you are willing to go to a bull fight you will be a witness to one of Spain´s most traditonal acitivities .

If you are looking into traveling to Spain here are 10 things that you need to do. Don´t worry if you are not able to do all these things in one trip, you can also split them in two and do some others when you get a change to go back to Spain (find cheap trips to do the things you missed). First of all you must know that the food there is in Spain is called “tapas.” This is typical food that you must try no matter what. “Tapas” are small plates that have the “torta española” or other spanish delicacies. In certain bars that are located in Granada (you can stay in the Almuñecar hotels ) you will find that they give “tapas” free when you buy alcoholic drinks . That is a cheap dinner for one night. Second of alla is going to a “corrida de toros” ( bullfighting ). You must not miss a bull fight. These are essential, basic and traditional for every spanish citizen especially because it is part of their history. Next is looking at Antonio Gaudí´s architecture. He has great works but his most important one is the “Iglesia de la Sagrada Familia” in Barcelona. A remarkable work of art that you must not miss. You can also not go to the Alhambra in Granada. Due to the greatness of this place it might take around 4 hours to see all of it. Be sure to take time, water and food so you can enjoy it much more. “Flamenco” dances are also something you would love to see. A dinner and a flamenco show is something that would be perfect for a romantic dinner. Now, another thing is going to the three most important museums in Madrid . They are “Centro de Arte Reina Sofía,” Museo del Prado,” and “Museo Thyseen Bornhemisza.” Segovia, Sevilla and Toledo are two cities that are extremely important to visit. Segovia has the beautiful palaces of Alcazar. Valencia is another city that has a special thing to eat. A paella is the thing to order in Valencia and totally worthwhile. Last of all a visit to Asturias and Galicia is important especially with all those beautiful and comfortable hotels there are.
