His Flickr photostream is here.

The bull was part of the recortador performace in feria in Tafalla, on August 19th last. It injured 40 people after jumping out of the bullring and marauded through the crowd.

TV footage shows aficionados trying to restrain the bull – one fan grabs its tail – as it careers through the stands.

Most of the injured were treated for cuts and bruises, officials in Tafalla said.

BBC coverage of the story is here.

Description: Every day the “faces of TVE” (Television de España) throw shapes and generally get seen by the public. Here one of the TV presenters (I don’t watch enough Spanish TV to know her name) sits all thoughtfully.

Description: I have never seen someone being more detailed, and expressive about bullrunning than Jose. For someone who cannot talk, he describes an encierro better than anyone.

The encierro is alot of fun, thats for sure. But an encierro with rasher sang-iches as a prize? Only the Irish can do it with that much style. I liked the guy with the boina at the start.

Find out more about the video here.

Description: Caravinagre – me da mucho miedo. Caravinagre is one of the kilikis. Caravinagre, translated to English, for me, means sour puss – he looks like grumpy.

The kilikis represent the councillors and their mission is to ‘frighten’ and entertain the youngsters. These six figures carry foam ‘sticks’ and playfully hit and chase after the little children.

Their names are: Coletas (ponytails), Patata (potato), Barbas (beardy), Verrugas (warts), Napoleón and Caravinagre (vinegar face).
