Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

What a week last week was

Last weekend was a whirlwind of bullfighting news!

We had the performance in Granada of Jose Tomas, one of the best toreros there is, but who only performs once or twice a year it seems.

Then we had important faenas from Julian Lopez and Morante de la Puebla. See the following links;

Then we had the two indultos by Antonio Ferrera on two separate days in Badajos.

And finally, a story that didn't get a lot of coverage but what I think might be the most amazing of all, a Miura bull was pardoned in Utera, the first Miura bull pardoned in their 177 year history!

What a week it would have been to be in Spain.
