The art of bullfighting is very popular in Ecuador. The Fiesta Brava, as it is also called in Spanish, was introduced to Ecuador during the Spanish conquest.
In Ecuador the bullfighting is lived intensely. Each important city in the Sierra organizes a serious bullfighting festival during the local holidays. Ibarra, in the northern Andes, holds them in September, Ambato lives its celebration during Carnival, Riobamba, in the central Andes gets dressed up in April and Cuenca, in the southern Andes, celebrates in early November.
In the rural environment, towns and communities celebrate their holidays with amateur bullfighting. It is in these small towns where many of Ecuador's bullfighters are born.
I hope you enjoy this new entry.. i will put more information about bullfighting next week..
