Dancing With A Bull

Spain, Madrid; April 2019


We could not resist to be part of this Spanish tradition and with more and less experienced toreros we had an eventful day with music, dancing and a chef which made us a traditional paella. 

In bullfighting, a Capea is a celebration in which amateur toreros participate in bullfighting without killing them. They are often organized at festivals in different towns or in stag parties. Small bulls are released into the arena and members of the audience can interact with them. It´s a common misconception that the color red is supposed to anger the bull; the animals are functionally colorblind: the bull is incited to charge by the movement of the "muleta", a small red cloth.

To be part of this cultural event was an adventure we are glad we took this opportunity.
