And why not, its part of Spain's heritage, the good and bad should be remembered and shown as it was.
Ok bull fighting is not a nice thing but have you been to the bull fighting museum in Murcia City?
It doesnt just celebrate the fighters but some of the great Bulls that took part (not all were killed you know).
Its an amazing place to visit and I came away with a better understanding of the whole thing. Would I go to one? No but I dont like football nor Rugby either.

I dont seem to remember anyone making judgmental comments about the big metal Bull that is now on show in Birmingham as a national symbol.

Seeing as the area was used for bull-baiting, a practice where a bull would be tethered to a ring and attacked by dogs for sport, before being slaughtered. The "ring" in question was an iron hoop in the Corn Cheaping (market area) where the bulls were tied
