Forcone DO Lageosa II. THE REAL FIESTA DEL TORO XALAMATI

Like all last summer we returned to bring the bike from Villamiel to the Portuguese town of Lageosa. This year the group was 12 riders, we got the port of Santa Clara (San Martín de Trevejo), we reached the town of Salamanca Navasfrías a road through the village and reaches Hamlet Obispo (Portugal), from there more 3km narrow path to Lageosa. Upon arrival, we got to work to regain your strength with a roasted chicken (Frangos) and a Sagres. Portugal, without further.

As you know I'm not a fan of bullfighting.

This year the bull managed to surround the Forcone, and one of the boy came out badly (the one you see in the picture with the pink pants).

Local history says that this tradition comes from when the herds of fighting bulls escaped Salamanca, produced a Portuguese village Forcone and after facing the bull had just got tired and capture him.

At the end of the bull in the morning, we drank some white wine at the home of Lageosa hosts that are already part of our families. Amazing country.

We started, not without great effort after the bulls, beers and wines, to Foios where we ate about 3 pm, cod, as is usual in this area.
