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. Back in the day 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, as well as learning about the history of the old West.

The last bullfight in Barcelona

The last bullfight held in Barcelona was September 25, 2011. 

It isn't against the law to hold a bullfight in Barcelona but I think they don't even try anymore due to local political backlash and the riots in the streets around the plaza that would occur. Any promoter that would put up money in hopes of making a profit is taking a huge risk. 

Maybe some day someone will try seeing how the bullfight is surging in Spain right now it seems.

We can always hope.
