I have been to Barcelona a couple times. I missed out seeing its bull-fighting arena. But I was recently in Madrid and surrounding areas. They still present bull-fighting here and on any given Sunday. It is still big business. Where bullfighting is concerned, I would side with kindness over tradition. If the situation were reversed I would not want to be the bulls. Perhaps a more compassionate tradition might replace bull-figthing. But I also do not think it is my decision to make. The arenas and city squares bullfighting has created are wonderful places to be at other times. Much cultures still is performed:)
Wishing you a wonderful day, Old-timers ... if that is indeed your real name:)
Thanks for the kind comment. Didn't know about Madrid. From what you said looks like only Catalunya banned bullfighting.
