A man rides a horse through the flames during the "Luminarias" annual
religious celebration on the eve of Saint Anthony's day, Spain's patron
saint of animals, in the village of San Bartolome de Pinares, northwest
of Madrid, Spain, January 16, 2016. According to tradition that dates
back 500 years, people ride their horses through the narrow cobblestone
streets of this small village to purify the animals with the smoke of
the bonfires. Picture taken January 16, 2016. REUTERS/Susana Vera |
They abuse bulls and throw goats from belfries in Spain. Goat throwing was finally banned in 2002. And they aren't exactly kind to horses during bull fights either. Just a culture i cannot admire.
