Many of the places we travel down here have a deep connection with bulls. Even tiny little towns have their own arenas for bull events. Bulls are popular in life and in art. The love for bulls is much like the Spanish connection to bulls. Taureau is also regularly featured on menus for dinner.
Towns that hold bull events occasionally run the bulls a couple of blocks down the street to the arenas. In which case, they post warning signs.
