Bulls

In an echo of ancient festivals, cows and bulls form an integral part of summer celebrations in the towns and villages of eastern Spain. Bulls run through streets in the hot afternoon sun - and in the middle of the night - calves chase children around the village square, and young men can live their torero dreams. This is not the corrida, with it's formalised structure and celebrity matadors. The aim is not to kill or main the animals - indeed inflicting any harm on the beasts is officially condemed. These are fiestas organised and enjoyed by the people.
