  • "Bous al carrer" is a Valencian term, and I was trying to be clever; Our new Culture minister is pro-bull fighting, but anti Valenciano as a language. So he will support "Toros en la calle", but not "bous al carrer".

    Maybe I'm not ready for my debut as a bi-lingual comedian.

  • I’m in Alicante a fair bit but still struggle with the differences between Valencian and Spanish dialect.

    Now I understand the context me gusta tu intento de comedia.

    We went to see a bullfight in Alicante a few years ago and had a steak cut from one of the bulls killed in the ring the same evening. I’m still not sure how I feel about it. Into The Arena is a very interesting book on the subject.

  • I’m still not sure how I feel about it

    I imagine it felt tough and chewy.

  • We went to see a bullfight in Alicante a few years ago

    Pretty shameful that

  • I'm in Gandia - we take our Valencian very seriously here. I understand the south is a bit different. I live in a barrio where the older inhabitants don't speak Castilian (I was politely but firmly corrected when I called it Spanish).

    Also, out of loyalty to my adopted city, I have to point out that "bulls in the street" is not the same as bullfighting. The bulls are not killed. And the vast majority of Spaniards do not support bullfighting.
