It’s All About the Bull(fighter)

We’re not necessarily fans of bullfighting but we’re fascinated by the pageantry and the colorful traditions.  The (Museo Taurino Cordoba) Bullfighting Museum was a good way to learn more.

The audiovisual presentations with closeup images of the bull and the fighter were interesting and the costumes elaborate and ornate.

To the Spaniards, matadors are like rock stars or our American baseball legends.

The colorful posters show flamenco dancers…

Flamenco Dancers!

…and images of the bull are ever present in the marketplace with straw bull images…

….and in the local Cafe La Gloria.

This evening we made the rounds of a couple of tapas bars and ended at the Roman Bridge.
