  TAUROMAQUIA is the Greek word for Bullfighting which came to the Spanish language through Latin, the language of Rome and the Roman Empire. Bullfighting is an integral part of the Spanish culture and, having survived centuries of controversy it thrives in Spain, Portugal, México, Colombia, Perú, Ecuador, Bolivia, Panamá, Guatemala, Venezuela, Japan! and, yes, even the United States where this unique art is practiced in California and other Western states.
