History of spanish Bull Fighting Bull fighting is very closely associated with Spain and can trace its origins back to 711 A.D

Then a trumpet is sounded and several fighters called Picadores weaken the bull by placing spears into it. This takes around 10 minutes.Another trumpet is sounded and the Matador now removes his black winged hat and dedicates the death of the bull to the president or the crowd before beginning his faena

Spanish breakfastBreakfast or “desayuno” in the Spanish culture is easily the least important meal of the day, if they do have breakfast it will likely be something light and simple which may consist of coffee, hot chocolate or fresh squeezed orange juice accompanied by a croissant, pastry, or toast with jam. Another common breakfast pastry which you will often see available in bars are “churros”, fried Spanish fritters with sugar.
