Silver Coast is going to be Bullfighting Capital of the World

Bull Starts, training of “forcados” (the men that have to grab the bull by the horns), a historical parade, expositions, colloquies, and obviously, bullfights, are part of the First Bullfighting Journeys at Caldas da Rainha, in the Silver Coast, that will take place from the 15th to 25th of May, 2008.

The event is organized by the local businessman Paulo Pessoa de Carvalho that wants to put Caldas da Rainha back on the Bullfighting Map of the World, recuperating the tradition that the city once had.

"Bullfighting generates employment and naturally increases economy growth and above all, is part of the legacy of our country", says Paulo Pessoa de Carvalho, which is going to have the town council as essential partner in this project, which coincides with the City Festivities.

Silver Coast, indeed one of the most diverse and interesting cultures of the world!
