I went with a couple of friends and we'd take turns filling up a plastic bag with Cruzcampo beer. I think it was like 2 or 3 dollars for a 6 pack.

And we rented seat cushions for around 50 cents... but we threw them out in the ring after one of the bullfights because everyone else was throwing them.

We had no idea what the protocol was for this thing. When the crowd would yell, we'd yell. When they'd start saying "SHHHHHH" and get quiet, we'd do the same. So when they all started yelling and flinging seat cushions, so did we.

Had enough wine in me at the time. I was there in the mid 1970's thanks to Uncle Sam for a med cruise.

It was awesome. There is definitely a set way of behaving at a bullfight. At certain points you're supposed to be absolutely quiet and at other times you can scream and yell like a madman.

They kill a bull and a team of horses come in, they hook it up, and drag it out of the arena. Some old Spanish guy told us they cut up the bull and give the meat to poor people.

Everybody wins!

Earlier I posted about how the bulls would go nuts when they saw the horses... I just found this:

quote:

Next, a picador enters the arena on horseback armed with a vara (lance). To protect the horse from the bull's horns, the animal wears a protective, padded covering called peto. Prior to 1930, the horses did not wear any protection. Often the bull would disembowel the horse during this stage. Until the use of protection was instituted, the number of horses killed during a fiesta generally exceeded the number of bulls killed.


But IMO the banderilleros are the badasses... not the matador. The banderilleros have 2 lances and as the bull runs straight at them they just stand there. At the last second they jump to the side and try to stab both lances into the bull's back. Those dudes have some balls.

Make sure you wear a funny hat and bring a large styrofoam cup full of beer.

I like to batter them with egg, panko breadcrumbs, and sugar... then deep fry them in some lard.

With ranch dipping sauce!

I would go as well. But, I'd expect to be able to randomly feel Bleuman up as the mood struck me.
