“"The involvement and effort of all the clubs make it possible for Almassora to have a high-level bullfighting program. The 'bous al carrer' are a fundamental part of our festivities and our popular culture, a tradition that is part of our identity and that we continue to preserve thanks to the commitment of the clubs and the fans."
