l'Olleria - Bull Ring

I think that most Spanish towns have bull rings, in one form or another. In Xativa, is a proper, new tiered one that has full bull fights quite regularly. However, in l'olleria, we have a part-time one! In reality, a road actually goes through ours, and when it is needed, the road is closed off, and the floor covered with sand. There is a small shelter that the 'hero's' can hide behind, and also a viewing stand on one side. In August, young bulls are set out into the arena, and young men run around and tease the bulls, rather than actually fight them. There is a stage in the centre of the arena, and the young men bravely leap off the stage, and challenge the bulls. Needless to say, now and then, the bulls decide enough is enough and as the youngster in question leaps back on to the stage to escape, the bull leaps up too! (In the picture, we have Brandon and Zak, being the matador and bull!)
