Sorry, but the information isn't accurate. Actually Barcelona is one of the first cities of Spain to forbid this so-called sports with bulls (or any animal), even those circus that uses animals in their shows.
There's many people here that really hates the deaths of bulls in "corridas" or "encierros" (like in Pamplona), although there's a few that still call it an "art". But surely is not a general passion among us, and in a few weeks in Catalonia probably will be forbidden forever this kind of thing.
Furthermore, this is the first time I've seen photos like that. Maybe its a tradition of a couple of villages, but not a Spanish tradition, believe me!

OK, I was anticipating facts, I was sincerely confused. But that doesn't make "toros" in Barcelona very popular. You can call it "art", but you also know that maybe a half of the people of Spain call it "murder". Maybe it's because we love arguing, but doesn't make it less real. This particular tradition "known in Spain"... well, not so much, not in Catalonia that's sure.
And, Andreu, I really don't think that the bulls in bullfighting die fast and without pain.
