Roman Amphitheater

The town has wonderfully kept Roman ruins including an amphitheater.  We toured the ruins and many of them were well kept.

One thing we saw that we were very interested in was a bull race.  It is similar to a bull fight, but the bull is not harmed.  They tie ribbons on his horns and the participants try to get the ribbons off.  Anne and I have never had an interest in a traditional bull fight, but wanted to see this.  Unfortunately, it does not start until next week.  These are held in the amphitheater.
