  • Bullfighting
  • Fiestas
  • Flamenco
  • Mariachi
Explanation

The Spanish autonomous community of Catalonia banned bullfighting in 2010, and it took effect in 2012. This decision was made due to a combination of factors, including growing public sentiment against the cruelty towards animals involved in bullfighting and the Catalan nationalist movement seeking to distance itself from traditional Spanish cultural practices. The ban was a landmark moment, marking a significant change in societal attitudes towards animal welfare as well as a political statement about Catalonia's desire for independence and cultural uniqueness.
