Bullfights on the beach of Candás

Curiosity · Carreño, Gijón, Asturias

Image of Carreño, not of the place itself.

One of the most singular customs of the north: during the September festivities, Candás sets up its bullring on the sand of the beach, so that the bullfight is held literally facing the sea and with the tide setting the timetable.
