Feria de Julio 2011

Last night marked the opening of the Feria de Julio in Vaencia's Plaza de Toros with a Novillada, or a sort of second division version of the usual corrida. I think that there were more people protesting outside the Plaza than there were people inside actually watching the spectacle.

Spain's most celebrated matador in recent memory, José Tomás will be in the ruedo on Saturday, July 23rd along with Juan Mora and Arturo Sadívar with six bulls from the el Pilar breeder. The Feria continues until the 24th of July.
