The festivities in honor of the patron of Xàbia, Sant Sebastià, put an end to this Sunday, after a week of celebrations that contained three days of bullfighting sessions. From the Cultural Association Bullfighting (ACT) make a very good assessment of the development of the events, which took place without incident.
Guillermo Bolufer, member of the ACT, has highlighted the growth of this traditional party in recent years and the great attendance of the public in each of the performances this year. "After a few years always having to suspend some performance because of bad weather, this year we have been able to make the full poster and it has been a great pleasure, since after working all year long, you want the weekend to be perfect", indicated to this medium Bolufer.
The festivities in honor of Sant Sebastià de Xàbia have coincided with the celebration of other celebrations in neighboring municipalities, "But although we were a little scared in case the influence of people was scarce, we have to say that we are very satisfied with the result, people responded by showing that they want to party and bullfighting events, since every day, the square has had an absolute full, and this has been reflected in the atmosphere of the hotel premises after each performance ", claim from the ACT.
'Bou embolat'
At these parties, the little ones also enjoy their fun time, "One of the performances that we like the most are the carretons. Children show great enthusiasm with this performance and enjoy it "Bolufer points out and adds that one of the most emotional moments was when "The children themselves approached me to tell me that they wanted to cut, ignite and put the hardware to the embolado cart, which was what they liked most. At that moment my heart broke."
In this ninth edition of the festivities, bullfighting performances were attended by well-known livestock, as well as with the novel livestock xabiera, The Brotherhood. A commitment of the Bullfighting Cultural Association for new entrepreneurs and also, neighbor of Xàbia, who was the first in charge of opening the calendar of the bullfighting day with his participation on Friday afternoon.
Guillermo Bolufer thanked all attendees, fans, collaborators, members of the ACT, livestock and local involvement, "Well, without all of them it would be impossible to move on".
Now, with the end of the 2020 festivities, work begins for 2021, a special year since the tenth anniversary of these bullfighting celebrations will be celebrated in honor of the patron of Xàbia, "in which we already think to celebrate in a special way"Bolufer commented.

That the children asked you «» Turn on and put the ironwork on the embolado cart »» and you broke your heart ???. Please Bolufer, I was there, every day you are less, there are four cats that remain and fortunately this barbarity tends to disappear. There are many more ways to entertain yourself without harming animals, although some are still more animals than poor bulls. Greetings.
Totally agree. "Parties" in which animals are mistreated should be totally prohibited! Having fun at the expense of suffering is wild, not a tradition that should be maintained in the XNUMXst century.
