It is considered as a symbol of braveness and a noble form of art, which once brought endless enjoyment and happiness to noblemen. Termed as the quintessence of Spanish, today ’s bullfighting is deeply ingrained in its culture. Nowadays this game meets unprecedented challenges and its survival is bogged down in endless debates.
