Europe culture - Spanish

Spanish culture is widely known for Flamenco music , dance, bullfights ,Tomato Fight and more wonderful Culture .



Bullfighting
 It is a traditional spectacle of Spain. It is often called a blood sport by its detractors but followers of the spectacle regard it as a fine art and not a sport as there are no elements of competition in the proceedings. The tradition, as it is practiced today, involves professional toreadors who execute various formal moves which can be interpreted and innovated according to the bullfighter's style or school.








The Tomato Fight
Surely the worlds' biggest food-fight: every year around 30,00 people descend on the Spanish town of Bunol (in the Valencia region of Spain) to throw more than 240,000 pounds of tomatoes at each other.
The festival is started with a ham-on-a-stick contest where competitors raced up a pole to retrieve a smoked leg of ham. When the ham is cut down, people put on eye protection and cry for tomatoes as trucks dump the squishy produce onto the village streets. They then proceed to pelt each other with them until all have been used up.
