bullfighting is a big thing they do in Spain. bullfighting is when a matador puts a red cap in front of the bull. when the bull charges they pull it out of the way. the matador has to kill the bull. they stab it with a sword to kill it at the end. there is a type of bullfighting were the matador is just running around the the bull and dog it by inches. they also do stunts like jump over the bulls
