HOW DO YOU READ THIS?¿?¿?¿?

Stare at this for awhile... All I understood was that the 27th of March there was show going on. I knew that I could go see it. Now the bottom I couldn´t seem to figure out....


That is when I had a conversation with an older spanish man. He didn´t speak english and with my poor spanish we had a conversation about these parts of the sign. All I know is that the ticket office was open when I when there. So this section not so much important to me.


Now this sign...this is important , why don´t you all try and decipher and see if you get it.


The red square going down(not across) are the levels at the bullfight building. Andanadas is the top-nose bleed seats...Tendios Bajos is the bottom- front row. The red going across says sombre, sombre, sombre y sol, and sol. Which in translation means shade, shade, shade and sun, and sun. Then this prices are listed. I got nose bleed seats and in the sun and shade. There are going to be 6 bulls and 3 should be in shade and 3 should be in sun. I paid 3.20 euros for the ticket. That nice man who was helping me told me that all seats were good. So anything would be fine for me. I learned that the bulls live in the stable things attached to the ring. I learned that it hold 18,000 people, and the building is 100 years old or so. It is a pretty building.


Yep that is me...



It has a mosque, islamic feel to the outside. Very pretty. Will take pictures on Sunday of the bulls and torredo or the guys with the red fabric. I think we call them manadors.

Ok off I go tapas tonight at the hostel.

Nosebleed seats are the best b/c you the perspective of the whole place. Plus, you can't beat the price. It sounds like you had quite the experience just getting to see the fight itself. I bet you were surrounded by real, live Spainards. I applaud you for taking the unbeaten path and doing as the locals do.

Wait, does this mean you are now a local too? Are you going to come back w/ a distinguishable Spanish accent?

ps- How were the tapas? Delicious??? And are you eating at least 10 of those fried, chocolatey thingies? (<-- "thingies" = technical term for I have no idea what they're called.)
