Bullfighting is like...cricket

Last week Carmen and I had won tickets to the Bullfighting in the majestic Plaza del Toros de Ventas. It was going to be the last bullfight of the year. We were all ready, not knowing what to expect. There was a slight drizzle when we arrived at the very impressive bullfighting arena. It seemed a bit quiet as only two Chinese tourist were trying to enter. We decided to go to the information desk where they told us that the bullfight had been....rained off!! Yes, the macho torreros turned out to be too vain to get wet! The pitch would turn into mud and the consequences would just be too much. Therefore the Bullfighting umpires had called time on the days play rather like they would have done at a cricket match. Next chance to see a bullfight? In the spring, when the weather is safe again..
