Spain is made up of provinces and communities. On the map the communities are all the same colour (with the names) and the provinces are inside of the communities. There are 17 communities and 52 provinces. Madrid is a community and province in one. There is a dot on the map for each province we were in.

encierros y corridas


The bull running and bull fighting is a big part of the party. The running is exciting to see. The bulls run to the plaza de toros where the runners can play with the bull a little more if the running wasn't dangerous enough for them. Sometimes there are people who jump and do flips over the bull. Ambulances are standing by incase someone gets hurt, but they didn't have to use them this year. Many people like the bull fighting here so I decided that I should see it one time. Here they had 6 bulls after the other in one bullfighting session. I left after the first bull. If the torero does a really good job, he gets one ear of the bull. If he does a really, really good job he gets 2 ears. If the performance is excellent, he gets 2 ears and the tail.
