Bullfighting


Spanish people love bullfightings. The season starts during the spring and last until the summer. We were able to enjoy one of the last events. Eventhough you need to have some knowledge about the event and have attended many of them before you start appreciating them, our students enjoyed it.

This XVI century magnificent palace was inspired by the Pontius Pilate's house in Jerusalem. The architecture of the palace combined Roman arches with Muslim tiles.
