The bull, powerful and majestic, is led into the arena, its eyes filled with determination and fear. 5. Tradition and Controversy: Bullfighting, a centuries-old Spanish tradition, remains a polarizing topic both within Spain and internationally. For some, it is a symbol of national pride and cultural heritage, while for others, it is an inhumane practice that glorifies animal cruelty.
