bullfight

Bullfighting has returned to the Balearic island of Mallorca after a partial ban was overturned by Spain's top court.

After two years without the tradition on the Spanish island of Mallorca, bullfights have returned to the capital city of Palma. Outside the arena, however, a group of protesters gathered, holding signs and chanting slogans calling the tradition "torture".

Three people were gored and a further two people suffered head trauma during the first day of Spain's best-known bull-running festival in the northern town of Pamplona on Sunday, the Red Cross said.

The Sanfermines fiestas kicked off on Saturday with the much-anticipated “Chupinazo” ceremony, which sees the launching of a firework rocket to mark the start of the event.

Dozens of demonstrators lay half-naked on the streets of Pamplona on the eve of the San Fermin festival on Thursday.
