Plaza de Toros, Barcelona

This Plaza de Toros, or bullfighting ring, in Barcelona is no longer a sports arena as bullfighting was outlawed in Catalonya in 2010 – the first (and only?) communidad (or state) in Spain to do so. Hurray! The arena has been turned into a monument toward a cruel and archaic tradition that preyed upon scared, helpless animals. Good riddance!

This guy seems to be happy. I think he’s dancing a jig!
