I’ve flown in nd out of all of those airports. No problems.

I never went to Spain because I totally detest bullfighting , That’s how I protested. Not one dime for that cruel country.

I lived in Spain for three years, from 1981 to 1984. My son was born there. It’s a lovely country, and there is plenty to see without ever going to a bullfight. A town where we lived, Chipiona, holds a festival every year called “La Virgen de la Regla.” It’s an interesting festival, based on a farmer’s finding a doll representing the Virgin Mary in a field. He paraded the doll around town and a serious drought ended. The doll lives in the Chipiona church except for festival time. Another town nearby is where sherry was created. Sherry is an English mispronunciation of the town’s name, Jerez. In Toledo, Spain, master swordsmiths have been making some of the finest swords in the world for centuries, longer (I think) than the Japanese swordsmiths.

There is a lot more to Spanish culture than bullfighting.

Now I want to go to Spain and watch bullfighting. I would hate to see it go.

Want to run with the bulls also.
