The Spanish culture is rich , colorful and mysterious. Its culture and
lifestyle differs tremendously from that of the other European
countries.
Bull Running :
Every year in July thousands go to Pamplona to start Spain 's most famous bull-running fiesta to honor the saint San Fermin.
Runners, mainly young men, gather at the bottom of Santo Domingo .
Then, a number of fighting bulls are let out onto the streets. The
bulls run along the narrow street to a bull ring. The runners dash
along in front of the bulls, trying to avoid getting gored by their sharp horns. When the bulls finally reach the end of the street, they
go into enclosure and are kept until that day they are killed in a
bullfight.
Flamenco :
The Spanish culture is also closely related to the famous Flamenco
style. This passionate form of dance first originated in Andalusia,
is around 200 years old and was originally considered to be a gypsy
dance. It is a colorful dance that is accompanied by the soulful
tunes of the guitar and a song . Flamenco is a large part of the country ’s traditions and culture.

And when most Scottish clubs are closing their doors, the hippest clubs in this city are just opening theirs.

decline of the American natives. In the sixteenth century, Spaniards and other Europeans brought horses to the Americas. Some of these animals escaped and began to breed and increase their numbers in the wild. Ironically, the horse had originally evolved in the Americas, but the early American horse became game for the earliest humans and became extinct about 7,000 BC, just after the end of the last ice age.
