Bullfighting; Spain or Mexico?

Question

Are there any significant differences between bullfights in Spain and in Mexico?

Answer 1

I've been to many bullfights in both Spain (Madrid) and in Mexico. There is absolutely no difference between them. The only difference is in the people. I believe the Spanish are very respectful and passionate about the sport and revere the matadors more than Mexico.

Answer 2

BF is ******** pathetic everywhere, I wish they put all the matadors in the Toro's place for once, I would go to that one!

Answer 3

Not really. There are a lot of bullfighters that go to one place to other.

Answer 4

The concept is the same between the two countries.  In fact, many matadors from Spain go to do fights in Mexico and latin america during the "off" season (Spain April-October;  Latin America Nov - March).  Both kill the bulls in the ring, whereas in Portugal it is done in the corral afterwards.  This is because a fighting bull cannot be fought more than once....very dangerous.

Answer 5

No differences. Such finghs are cruel, immoral and disgusting.

Answer 6

There is between bullfights in Spain and Portugal, I have no idea about Mexico though. The Portugese don´t kill the bull. Read the link for an interesting article.  http://www.travelnet.co.il/PORTUGAL/09-B...
