Jubilee Bull festival celebrated in northern Spain amid criticism from animal rights group

Medinaceli, Nov 12 (EFE).- The Spanish town of Medinaceli celebrated Saturday night the flaming Jubilee Bull festival amid protests and possible boycott from the animal rights group.

During the festival, dating back to the 16th century, a bull is covered with mud to avoid burns and a inflammable structure is placed on its head which is set to fire before the animal is freed close to midnight.

The festival re-enacts the arrival of the relics of St. Arcadio, St. Eutiquiano, St. Pascasio, St. Paulino and St. Provo, which traditionally arrived from Africa on bull with firing horns. (Camera: WILFREDO GARCÍA).
