Fiestas de Quito-Los Torros

















As every year in Dezeber found this time almost a week, the "fiestas de Quito" instead.
From what I understood to demand, then something like the founding or independence of Quito gefeiert.In this Quito days is quite a large party area.
There is both day and night awful lot of traffic, hanging banners and posters everywhere and all the people are in party mood.
reigns in the streets of chaos and light all the time you can hear the music of the "Chivas." A Chiva is a kind Parybus.Also a bus that is open and what's up and people sitting down, standing or dancing to loud music. The bus leaves from Quito and then to my own experience makes just so much fun!
these days are traditionally the "Juegos de los Torros" instead, so the bull fights in the great bull rings.
knew in advance I do not know if it would please me, after all, animals are killed and otherwise it's cruelty to animals. Since I would be experiencing such a spectacle but not twice as fast and everything is on offer here I would like to experience even possible, I decided to go with something Skeptsis.
So was I on a Friday with Lena, my friend from Germany, her cousin and friends in the bull ring in Quito.
The atmosphere is much like in a football stadium. Everywhere cheerful people, tents with food and drink and loud music. The
Käpfe with the bulls but I have put off more. The bulls are hunted and gehätzt and pierce the bull-fighter with a kind of a spear on the animals. Even from the seats at the top you can see how the blood only as flowing out of the bulls ... A fight takes about half an hour until the end of the Stierkäpfer pierces with the sword to the bull is the animal to the ground and using of horses from the arena the next.
So a very bloody event and more used to. Not all Ecuadorians are behind the champion bull, so there are many protests to protect the animals. Nevertheless, I am
happy to have also experienced this event!
