Before visiting our friend in hospital we went to a "Bullfight" in the arena we had visited on Thursday.
The object of the exercise is for the men in white to put rings over the horns of the bull and the one with the most rings is the champion. It means that the bull is not killed. We saw them tackle 3 bulls before we left and there were 4 more to go.
The ceremony before the actual fight took place was very spectacular with dancers and parades of women and girls in traditional dress.
The men have to be very fit and agile to leap over the barricades before the boards are tossed in the air.
