La Corrida

Durante la primavera, fui a Madrid y Paris. Madrid es la capitol de Espana. Fuimos a la corrida cuando visitamos Madrid. La Corrida era en la plaza de los torors de Madrid. Me gustaba la corrida porque la cultura de Espana es muy interesante para mi. Tienio seis bravos toros de Juan Jose Gonzalez y tres matadors. Hubo diez y seis personas de nos grupo quien vieron la corrida. Antes de la corrida, Sra. Garcia y otras personas visitaron la museo de las toros y matadors.

This is the outside of the stadium.

This is the part whre these horesemen are requesting the key to the gate that keeps the bulls in their area.

This is the matador himself doing what he does best, fighting the bull.

Here we see part of the crowd that attended la corrida. This section was filled with mostly Spaniards.

Here we see the matador getting ready to kill the bull.

This is after the banderillas have been out in the bull in order for it to regain its fighting spirit.

This is the point in la corrida where the banderillas are put in the bull.

More of that crazy matador.

The person on the horse is the picador. He has a long spear to stick into the bull to calm it down. After this the banderillas are put in to live the bull back up.

This is where the other people in the bullfight test out the bull for the matador so he can see how it behaves.

The picador jabs the bull with his spear.

The picador and his horse are both wearing heavy padding to proect them both from the charge of the bull.

Now that all the banderillas are in, they are ready for the matador.
