You're confusing the encierro of Pamplona with a corrida de toros.

You are correct, I've been to that restaurant in Pamplona, drove there from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, it wasn't great meal

There is a small bull ring in St Jean

I get it, you approve of animal suffering and would get 'excited' to watch it ... I pity you.

Now that really was below the belt :p

OK Guys I know this is an emotive subject.
But lets not let it go the way of other "Friday night" threads.

Attack the principle by all means but lets not shoot the messenger / poster.
As you were :thumbs:
 
totally agree gramps - seriously I do - I just cannot believe that it still goes on, the EU ban this and that, very minor things, but they have never dealt with bull fighting, why ……… too many voters go and watch ……. it is the same with hunting and killing birds in France …….. even if the hunters shoot protected species and use illegal traps ……. nothing happens …… the frog government does nothing and the fat guys in the EU turn a blind eye and just go for their next "free" lunch

It is a joke, I have a Canon, (and a Nikon, and a Leica, and an Olympus and a Panasonic and a this and that),
It was almost done to help diffuse the situation - if you cannot see that it's a tragedy

Nikon mate, I wish to test and challenge it as I know how good it is when used properly. I'm a landscape man, cityscape, but will hire a long lens for my holiday. Maybe a TSE for the wonderful churches they have. Converging verticals...yuck!!!!

Excitement at my age is not good ……….the odd "flash" no and again is all I can cope with

I have no idea what all these funny little faces mean that keep being thrown at me ….. Mr Brash did it all the time … is there a link …… if I click on them nothing happens … should it?

and I have no idea what facepalm and tis is

Did you not buy a D800E and a whole load of lens to go birding with. Excitement there. My excitement is at the 21mm focal length tonight, Sunset up Ballachulish way

No I have a D7100 which I don't like, I have a D300 that I love and I have just bought a D700 which I adore ……. after just one night with it

Mate it with the 300mm f2.8 VR and the TC-20lll and it's ecstasy, (the feeling not the other), I'm a happy man and don't need any frankie canon to bring me back down

But seriously bull fighting is just not on …… unless you go to a top quality event you won't enjoy it sitting next to some person who never uses under arm deodorant - it's bad enough walking around a French or Spanish supermarket ….. but for an extended period it's not good
 
I'll PM Ricardoforce before I go, get tips of ones to see, places to shoot. Its his threads and previous visits before I was into photography that make me pine for Spain. Alicante harbour, Valencia, Rhonda are all places on my road trip map.

I'll drop you a line nearer the time, I'm into buildings, castles, seascapes, landscapes, take in a bull fight (LOL). Some of that Moorish architecture, I need some of that in my D800

The city of arts and sciences Valencia at night is a must see / do.
Check out Ricco's flickr for images :thumbs:
 
I was at Arènes de Nîmes today :D no bulls though, just a few tourists
 
I'm home now. Was just in Nîmes waiting for La Navette to the airport. I did see some posters around but didn't pay much attention to the dates.
