Thread: Bullfight

I'll never go to a bull fight: IMHO it is legalised cruelty against animals. I am not a vegetarian, if you wanna eat them: kill 'em quick.

OK, In What movie did you hear the Line, "Ever been to a bullfight on acid?"

That's awesome. Something I've always wanted to do is run with the bulls in Pamplona...I just have to convince the wife to let me go.

I've only been to Barcelona but I'm sure that Madrid is just as gorgeous. Can't say I'd ever go to a bullfight myself, but hope you enjoy yourself. You'll definitely be eating and drinking well.

If you enjoy red wine and want to look for something outside of the La Rioja region, check out the wines from Navarra. That was one of our many amazing discoveries in Barcelona.

Very good advice, and if you like white wine, try wines fom Galicia, the "Albariño", like "Terras Gauda"

My brother wanted to do this for his bachelor party. Expense and the fact that he might not make it to his wedding alive were big deterrents. Plus, I'm so slow, in high school they threw out the stopwatches and timed me with a calendar.

Well, I don't think it was phrased as a question, but I think "I like going to bullfights on Acid" is from Caddyshack.

"What brings you to this nape of the woods, neck of the wape...?"

I did go to a bullfight in Barcelona many years ago (no drugs though ). It is barbaric to my sensibilities, but I'm glad I went. You could really smell the blood in the air. It's an interesting experience and I can't really judge because I don't understand enough about the culture and history that gave rise to it. Read Death in the Afternoon before you go - if you haven't already.

I don't claim to be fast, but there's a secret to it- you have to have an exit plan. Either a wall to jump over or a place to hide that the bulls can't get you at. One day I'll write back here and let everyone know how the secret works

Yeah, thats what they all think!
But don't underestimate the manners of panicked people!

I'd rather recommend LA TOMATINA | THE TOMATO PARTY IN VALENCIA SPAIN - Home
