Many are cuckoo about it. Machos in Mexico regard it as part of their everyday action that weighs how intense and tenacious a real Mexicano is. Spain, Portugal and several Latin American countries also watch this astonishing and tenacious game but it is also frequently practiced in Mexico especially during fiestas. Tourist all over the world, especially aficionados, does not only witness it themselves but also attempt to have a ride and show how bold they are to face such encounter. You know what I mean. I'm talking about Bullfighting and nothing else.

Bullfighting is part of the cultural heritage of Mexico. Although some animal rights activists refuted this astonishing show as part of the country's intangible heritage yet a travel in Mexico is incomplete without such awe-inspiring show. Some says it is not just mere animal show. More seriously other says that Bullfighting is a brutal sport that pits a bull against men who wield a variety of lethal weapons. Whatever the reasons there are one thing for sure that every tourist that takes a vacation in Mexico are already hook into it. They grab the opportunity to witness and are so mad about it.

Normally, the game showcases the boldness of every Mexicano. Bullfighting is a traditional spectacle of Spain, Portugal, some cities in southern France, and several Latin American countries including Mexico. The bullfight, known in Spanish as the corrida de toros, is a distinguished facet of Mexican culture. It is a ritualized spectacle, a dramatic struggle between man and beast, style and fury, intelligence and strength. The tradition, as it is practiced today, involves professional Toreros who execute various formal moves with the intent, during various phases of the fight, of distracting, angering, or causing injury to the bull itself. Such maneuvers are performed at close range, and can result in injury or even death of the performer. The bullfight often concludes with the death of the bull by a well-placed sword thrust as the finale. The finale consists of a tradition called the Pega, where men try to grab and hold the bull by its horns when it runs at them. Forcados are dressed in a traditional costume of damask or velvet, with long knit hats as worn by the Campinos from Ribatejo.

Locals and tourists are astonished and astounded after the encounter against the beast. Applause surrounded the arena when the man defeats the bull. Most bullfights last for about 15 minutes, with a series of deliberately barbaric stages. The bull is outraged and stabbed with a variety of spears, barbed spikes and daggers. These weapons are designed to inflict intense pain and cause blood loss to weaken the animal. After this period of suffering, the Matador finally kills the dying bull. Following this, a short dagger, or 'puntilla', is used to sever its spinal cord at the neck before the bull is dragged out of the arena, sometimes still alive.

Bullfighting generates heated in many places of the world whether the wage game is still a culturally essential tradition or just a blood sport that should be stopped. In Mexico, it still part of their practice to held bullfighting every occasion. During fiestas in town, the celebration is not complete unless there's bullfighting in the place. We can't take it that tourist all over the world really enjoys this kind of game and would actually spend money to see it. For those who travel and want to see this man's gamble of his life, Mexico has it. Expected bullfighting games are held everywhere at least every month.
