Thursday, May 16 Las Ventas Plaza de Toros (Bullfight)

This happened to be the week of San Isidro Festival (bullfights every night) when the best of the best come to compete. The bullfights start between 5 and 7pm each day for a week and the tickets are sold out long before the shows. Gary & I opt not to purchase tickets via scalpers as I have a weak stomach for seeing blood from the bull or the Matador. We did our own tour of the Moorish design building and that was close enough to seeing a bullfight as I want to be.

Omg, it's not a bull charging at me but Gary taking more pictures.
 
The Matador and the bull.
Ok guys I will show you how it is done , ho lay!
Okay enough of bull talk, it's shopping time. Our adventure takes us to the fashionable area of Salamanca on Goya street and a stop at Yanes Jewelers, opened in 1881.
 
After a hard day of touring museum, jewelry and shoe shopping we decided to have tapes take out , yum yum.
 

Well time for the Tablao flamenco show. There were four dancers in this 2 hr show and we had amazing front row seats to see their workout.
