Label TextAfter the Muslims were driven from Spain in the fifteenth century, bull-lancing tournaments became the favorite sport of the aristocracy. In fact, corridas became such a routine part of Spanish life that they were eventually held during fiestas in commemoration of holy days and the canonization of saints; even now the opening day of the bullfighting season in some areas of Spain is Easter Sunday. These bullfighting-related fiestas are important community events, often reflecting local and regional identities and traditions.ProvenanceCraddock and Barnard, London, UK
