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.

Un toro en el museo


 Un toro de El Duque de Veragua en una de las galerías del Museo Nacional del Prado a su derecha un cuadro de << El rapto de Europa por Zeus>> Dios que según la mitología tomó la forma de un toro bravo para llevarse a la joven.

Históricamente la historia de todo el continente europeo y en específico de la cultura mediterranea está estrechamente ligada al toro bravo.
