Bullfighting in Spain

Bullfighting is certainly one of the best known, although, at the same time most controversial Spanish customs. For its fans bullfighting is, of course, an art rather than a sport.
The aesthetic of bullfighting is based on the interaction of man and beast, on artistic impression and command. It is an ancient tradition, dating back to prehistoric times that has survived in this country and is still going strong.

I've always wanted to see a bullfight. It must take a lot of courage to be a matador.

If those people ("matadors") felt genuinely happy and confident, they wouldn't go near any of this. They give themselves false value from finance and approval from media and ignorant people. We all have to be realistic about ourselves eventually. They need real support from family/friends.
