Does Nerja have bloody fiestas? (country, place, English, visiting)

[jbowman09]

Am planning a two-month trip to Nerja, Spain, in April and May. However, I need to know if Nerja holds any of the bloody fiestas I've read about. Would like to avoid such. Advice, please. Thanks.

No that I know of. Maybe they are waiting for you.

Correction: by "bloody," I meant "blood." As in gratuitous cruelty to animals.

Possibly you believe that when your visiting a Spanish city is mandatory to go watch the bulls .-
Except that in your country be mandatory to visit the municipal slaughterhouse, the boxing etc etc
.ja ja ja.-

Just want to know if and when to visit. Am not trying to get into arguments or judgements. A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice. Thanks.

I do believe that April and May is "Gerbils & Hamsters Meet Woodchipper Days" in the central plaza of Nerja.
Just remember to stay upwind of the spray.

They have a couple oif Festivals, one at Easter (Religous) and one in October, I don't think either involves animal cruelty.

Some of the animal cruelty involved has stopped over recent decades, and hopefully the rest will also now stop.

Thanks, Brave. Just the answer I needed. You've been very helpful.

Didn't know it was this prevalent. Guess I'll skip Spain altogether.

You're never going to see this in any city center, especially the an English resort community like Nerja. You'd have to venture out into the countryside, probably not the type of place you'd go anyway, to find something like this. Bull-fighting on the other hand, is prevalent in Andalusia, but you can just as easily not go watch a match.
