One of the more well know things about Spain in the rest of the world is the running of the bulls in Pamplona which is happening during these days. Too bad that people without training or drunk, foreigners mostly, get every year badly injured or dead.
Definitely something you must check out once in your live.

I always root for the bulls. Why did you post that pic of gramps getting gored? The one of that painted woman that was on yahoo was hot.
