Corrida De Toros (Bullfigting)

Last but not the least is a sport Spain is very famous, or for some, infamous for – Bullfighting. Bullfighting has been in the Spain culture since time immemorial. In the bullfight, 3 matadors fight a bull to death. It has 3 stages – tercio de vara(lances), tercio de banderillas and tercio de muerte(death stage). If the matador manages to kill the bull in a skillful manner, then he is allowed to take the ear of the bull home as a trophy for this victory. People keep debating about bullfighting and how legal or righteous it is. But most of Spain continues to practice it as a weekly sport and one must just see it as it is.

Calat Alhambra

Spanish architecture needs no introduction but what came out as a result of the mixture of two beautiful art styles – Gothic and Islamic, is something that everyone marvels at. Alhambra is an old fortress situated in the region of Granada, Andalusia. The moors reigned over Spain so it was built by the Moorish King Badis Ben Habus. Originally built in 889, it was a small fortress but in the year 1333, many additions were made and it was converted into a royal palace for the king. Alhambra stands out as one of the most interesting pieces of architecture due to it’s beautiful melange of two cultures and art styles. One can get lost in the beauty of this place for hours together, losing the track of time. So if it is Spain that you are going to, do not miss Alhambra.
