Many Spanish towns hold festivals involving bulls during the summer months, the most famous of which is San Fermin in Pamplona, northern Spain, which ends on Tuesday.
In the Pedreguer 'Bous al carrer' or 'Bulls in the street' festival the animals are released into the village streets.
The festivities were called off in a sign of mourning.
