Holidays
The holidays are around 15 August and last five days. They have been great singers that have made us enjoy our night. Bring a place where you can watch bullfights, and the last day to cut a young heifer. It is very funny but as they put something dangerous bleeding in the middle of the square, on a plain surrounded by a circular trench about 60 cm. deep and filled with liquid mud. Running a little drunk with a heifer may cost you a tumble.
