Last Bullfight

Last July, in Barcelona, Spain, a law was passed by the regional government of Catalonia to prohibit bullfighting in Catalonia starting January 1st, 2012.

On September 25, 2011, the last bullfight took place in Barcelona. Two of the most famous bullfighters, Jose Thomas and Sebastian Marin, went to the last bullfight where, in Barcelona's famous Monumental Bullring, tickets sold out packing the ring with 20,000 people.

When the last bullfight ended, many people invaded the ring to grab handfuls of sand to take home as souvenirs.
