Experience Repeatability |
Last week-end of May Nimes'bull fighting feria is the biggest in Europe.Went to see with Philippe and Francoise G. an evening performance in its Roman Amphitheatre. Six bulls each weighing 500 kilos are to be killed. Three matadors each kill two bulls. I find it rather gory and sad that these vibrant,innocent beasts are going to die because the fight is uneven with the picador and matador always winning. But there must be something in this sport because 20,000 spectators were applauding it. Young bulls also run in the streets excited by cute running men. There is a fair and merry go arounds. |
