Mijas Local Customs: 8 reviews and 12 photos
In Mijas you will find posters of Bullfights on every street corner (in two languages at least!)
Yes it is a spanish tradition and no matter how much all animal lovers (such as myself) find it cruel, one has to grant the culture the fact that it is somewhat fascinating and powerful.
Wait till you see a Matador in full gear, gleaming eyes ...
Right on your doorstep you've got the local bullring - the Plaza de Toros in Mijas Pueblo where the locals gather with as much gusto for bullfighting as ever.
It's not every foreign tourist's cup of tea but a fascinating spectacle if you've no qualms about animal cruelty.
I personally would not go there...
