The advertisement stated that there would be not played to the concert five band of music.
On the other hand, the organization was awful, because the doorman was lout, stupid and rude.
The place of the Magic Music Fest was extremely small and there were many people to the location of the place the Magic Music Fest.

I would like that for the next event that is realized, the place of the concerts is more big. That the organization can be more good, and the doorman are more nice, agreeable and educated with us.

A ‘for and against’ essay Soraya Oliván

The famous bullfight in Pamplona is one of the principal tourist attractions in Spain every summer.
Where both men and women visit the city to take part in these bullfights or to see them.

The bullfight of bull is a tradition that goes back centuries behind and It is a form of which the people of Pamplona remember his history and celebrates his inheritance.
Thousands of persons of out of Spain are present at the bullfight every year, doing that this fact is a great economic contribution for this city. Since it helps to support the local economy of Pamplona That of another form would not be a tourist important destination.

During the bullfight, the bulls are not controlled and separation does not exist between the animals and the corridors. That's why the result can be very dangerous for the participants. Everything and that the city establishes the necessary precautions to protect to the corridors. But the corridors often ignore the rules or sometimes they run under the influence of alcohol and can be trampled or been gored by the bull.

In conclusion. I think that you have of taking mas safety measures with regard to the corridors for to avoid these accidents.
