Every July in this Spanish town on the Mediterranean coast the locals set up a makeshift bull ring on the quay of the port and twice each evening for four days bring several bulls in trucks and let them loose one by one into the ring to be taunted by the people who choose to enter. Occasionally the bulls get the upper hand if they can build up enough energy after being cattle prodded before they get entered in the ring, or having fallen in the sea after chasing the guys. Very traditional.....and it's good when the bull wins, otherwise it all seems a bit unnecessary.
