Sunday Share | "Running with the Bulls"

Ecco's next Sunday Share on August 12 celebrates one of the world's most venerable, extreme traditions: Spain's Running of the Bulls.

This yearly ritual is said to have started quite innocently. While transporting cattle in order to sell at the market, men would attempt to speed the process by hurrying their cattle using tactics of fear and excitement. After years of this practice, the hurrying began to turn into a competition, as young adults would attempt to race in front of the bulls and make it safely to their pens without being overtaken. When the popularity of this practice increased and was noticed more and more by the expanding population of Spanish cities, a tradition was created and stands to this day.

Fortunately, the only thing in danger here will be your hunger as you feast on some of the finest foods Spain has to offer. Ecco's culinary team will also be on hand to share a little more about this cherished institution and how the dishes below are inspired by it.
