Taking the bull by the horns!!
The Portuguese bullfight is a truly unique experience.

It begins with a bullfighter on horseback, attempting to insert metal barbed swords in the front haunches of the bull.

Then the tourada benefits from the daring tradition of the forcados. The forcados are a group of eight brave (or crazy) young men whose job it is to irritate and tire the bull, which they do by rushing him together, dressed in bright red and green hats and coats.

This tradition was supposedly invented when the guards of royal box seats, who used pitchforks (forcados) to prevent the bull from entering the box, were called on to grab the bull. This action, designed to make the fight less bloody, was and is still called the pega, or the grabbing of the bull.
