Is ther a name for the event and/or participants? Are they from the audience? I recall seeing this at a Mexican bullfight several years ago. I would really appreciate an answer form any bullfight afficionados.

Most English-speakers think that it is supposed to be a sport. However, talk to aficionados (which I most definitely am not) and they will most likely be offended if you describe it as sport. They will probably tell you that is an art. Anyway,it's a nice description, Iain. I also failed to see the Alhambra and the Alcázar, in fact I couldn't even find ANY accommodation on a busy holiday weekend so I would advise anyone going to Granada to try and make bookings in advance.

Keep on writing.

For me, as you will understand, it brings back more pleasant memories of a roof terrace far from Spain. A harrowing but vivid account Iain.

Have never seen one and don't intend to. Nice writing Iain. A very good description of a barbaric “sport” which should be outlawed in this day and age! Have never seen one and don’t intend to.

Good to hear you are still on the go. Too bad you didn't make it into the Alhambra, you sure waited long enough in that queue! All the best, Barbara. Hi, been wondering where you guys disappeared to!
