A couple of days ago we went to the Feria celebration in downtown Malaga, followed by a corrida de toros (bull fight). It was a very fun and eventful day, if not a little exhausting. We drank too much Malaguenen wine - a sweet white wine, danced, and listened to the various flamenco bands and groups of women dressed in Sevillana serenade the masses with traditional songs. These are some of the photos from the day.

This was really cool as all 3 toreros (bullflighters) stepped into the ring at the beginning with their respective entourages of matadores and picadores.

Apologies in advance to anyone sensitive to this, but I just loved the stance of the torero (in purple) after he placed the sword and is waiting on the bull to fall.
