Add to My List Check Off

Spanish-style bullfighting is called a corrida de toros (literally a "running of bulls"), or fiesta brava. In traditional corrida, three toreros, also called matadores or, in French, toréadors, each fight two out of a total of six fighting bulls, each of which is at least four years old and weighs up to about 600 kg/1,300 lb (with a minimum weight limit of 460 kg/1,000 lb for the bullrings of the first degree). Bullfighting season in Spain runs from March to October. The fights that attract most spectators are the ones held during a Fiesta patronal, named ferias taurinas. The most prestigious of such fights is held for the fiesta of San Isidro in Madrid.
