Bull Fighting Barcelona Details
In Catalonia, such counter-passion has dominated public discourse over the past decade, resulting in a regional ban of the "sport" in September last year. "Tortura ni es art, ni es cultura! [Torture is neither art nor culture]" was the slogan of the animal rights initiative Prou! (prou.cat), which collected 180,000 signatures on a petition instrumental in achieving the ban.
However, perhaps the most important factor was simply: ni es catalan (neither is it Catalan). Indigenous to Spain, bullfighting has always been met with secessionist resentment in Catalonia, and this was one of the reasons for declining interest in the sport.
Many arenas, seemingly pre-empting the prohibition, were demolished years before the ban, for lack of funding and interest. Here is what has happened to the rest.
