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.

Resurrection Sunday

It has been a hectic past few days in the world of the bulls, but the season is off and running!

We had fiestas in Malaga, Arles, Madrid, and Sevilla. (and probably even a few more that I missed.) But the biggest news is probably the return of Morante. It seems like no one can picture a season of bulls in Spain without Morante. Maybe people will tire of him at some point, but at least at the moment they want more. And he was in Sevilla today, along with Roca Rey and David de Miranda ushering in the season.

I will try to get more photos posted soon but it is getting late and I need to get to bed so I can go to work in the morning. But here is a link to a video of today's highlights from Sevilla, along with a few photos.
