 ¡Take the bull by the horns! This is a once in a lifetime experience, an activity that is unique to Spain and a memorable way to celebrate your stag or hen do in Valencia,including a full lunch with drinks. No animals are harmed!
Running the Bulls in Valencia
Forget Hemingway's "Death in The Afternoon", no animals are harmed here, and being Valencia, the whole thing is resolved sitting in the sun with copious measures of paella, mirth and wine. Welcome to a real bull-running capea. ¿Mouse or Matador? ¿Torero or terror-stricken? Test your mettle (or maybe just the stag's) by spending an hour or so fighting a born and bred toro bravo: a brave Spanish vaquilla.
Are you going to let a fearsome baby bull or cow get the better of you? Use the cape with skill, show your ability to turn the bull, try a few veronicas on him, and maybe sommersault over the horns? Or maybe not, rather than make a bold bid for the annals of taurine history, you may just want to scarper as fast as possible behind the safety wall (yes, there is one!) A real Spanish bullfighter, in the shape of your instructor will be there however, to assist and guide you, even though the rest of the group may proffer that your tauromaquia skills are more redolent of the non-horned end of the animal!
 And….our Valencia Bull Running package includes a great Spanish paella or barbecue lunch sitting outdoors including copious beer and/or wine. All in all this is a hilarious, unusual and essentially safe Valencia stag or hen activity. No animals are harmed!
