Running of the bulls is an integral part of many communities in Spain. They also take place on the Costa Blanca as part of local festivals despite protests. You can read details about the controversial event in this article:
Dénia – Bull running is still part of the city festival in many communities in Spain, including on the Costa Blanca. The holiday resort of Dénia, for example, has now celebrated its “bous a la mar” after a two-year Corona break. Bulls and cows are driven across a road, similar to the world-famous San Fermines in Pamplona. In Dénia, however, the port is over – and it is not uncommon for animals and people to end up in the sea. costanachrichten.com reports what animal rights activists say about the bull drives in Spain.
As every year, there were several injured at the bull runs in Dénia. In Spain there is increasing protest against events of this kind. So far, however, the arguments of animal rights activists have gone unheeded in many communities on the Costa Blanca.
