Recortes

Recortes are a style of Spanish bullfighting where the bull is not harmed and recortadores must dodge charging bulls acrobatically without the use of capes or props, i.e. solely with their own body's movements.

It is traditional to the Spanish regions near the Ebro river, Basque Country, Madrid, Extremadura and Valencia.

[1] It has been proposed as an alternative to traditional bullfighting corridas as the animal is not harmed or killed.

[3] It is also cheaper to become a recortador than a traditional bullfighter, although prizes are also lower.

[3] Course camarguaise, where the competitors try to retrieve a white rosette from between the bull's horns.
