Bullfighting's last day in Catalonia

Barcelona's massive bullring will be the last in the Catalonian capital to close its doors this Sunday.

It is the end of the bull-fighting season and that means the end for the sport for ever in Catalonia.

It will be outlawed by legislation that comes into force on the first of January, 2012.

180 thousand Catalans signed the petition asking the regional government to make bullfighting illegal.

By voting it in in June 2010, Catalonia followed in the footsteps of the Canary Islands, which outlawed the controversial tradition in 1991.
