Cock Fights

Roosters do not fight to the death and fights are regulated. Winners are chosen by judges before the birds are harmed. Sunday afternoons at Gallera Puerto Real.

"We've heard tell that cock fights are matches to the death, a fact that we find pretty abhorrent, but to be honest that is not what we saw. We watched two rounds and in each, one of the roosters became submissive and the two birds were quickly separated. Is this the norm? We don't know. What we do know is that we were welcome guests witnessing a well tolerated local custom."
