Toro de Fuego
July 15th, 2010 · No Comments · Miscellania
XI Jornadas Medievales – Sigüenza 2010
So they said to get 2 meters back “for safety”. Imagine the real thing.
A toro de fuego (“fire bull”) or toro embolado (“bull in balls”) is festive activity in which a bull that has balls of flammable material attached to its horns, which are lighted, is set free in the streets at night so that people dodge it to have fun. This activity is held in a number of Spanish towns during their local festivals. In recent years, animal rights campaigners have attempted to stop this from happening due to the cruelty to the animal. The live bull is now often substituted with a bull-resembling metal frame held by a runner and that is set alight.

The Sigüenza Tourism folks open up the annex location during the summer at El Humilladero. Really great Tapas at the Bar Alameda across the street.

For some reason, I’m one of those people that has an unusual interest in maps and tourism information. Hmmm?
Over 10 years ago, I got this map from the Sigüenza Tourism Office when they first opened in the refurbished Ermita del Humilladero. Besides some rudimentary rack cards from some local businesses, this was the extent of the tourism information that was available. Could it be that those were pre-Google days? Gads. Along with this map, here are the tools you will need to plan a trip to Sigüenza.
