The First Bullfight

Here in Peru they have a short bullfighting season but get many of the good matadors from Spain to come out and tour.  Some friends were going the other day and had a spare ticket so Spencer went with them.

This is Acho, the oldest bullring in the Americas and the 2nd oldest in the world.  They've been using this arena since 1766.

You can see that the fights are popular and you can see Lima working its way up the hill in the background.

 

Here you can see all the participants in the bullfight in the ring.  It seems to take a lot of work to get the bull "ready" for the matador.

The warm up show.
