نبذة مختصرة : Las fiestas de toros tienen gran importancia y arraigo social en Medellín. Estos festejos, con un número limitado de ejemplares en cada caso, se suceden a lo largo de todo el año. Medellín recibe entre 10 y 12 toros de sus rentas, número insuficiente. Por ello, se consolidó la costumbre de recabar reses en las dehesas de la jurisdicción, en las que predomina el ganado vacuno. La lidia se realiza con un claro predominio de la modalidad popular, teniendo un escaso desarrollo el toreo caballeresco. Sólo se sacrifican algunos ejemplares, frecuentemente los mejores. ; Bullfighting festivities were extremely important and deeply rooted in Medellin’s social life. These festivities, involving a limited number of animals in each case, were held all through the year. Medellin received between 10 and 12 bulls from its income, an insufficient number. This led to the custom of rounding up bulls in the grazing land under the town’s jurisdiction, in which cattle farming was the main activity. Bullfighting was done largely by members of the local community, with the more formalised kind remaining undeveloped. Only a few animals, often the best, were sacrificed.
