Cooking and bulls

This year’s bullfighting poster of Donostia has given much to talk about on social media, as the protagonist is a bull dressed as a cook. As the company explained, it is a poster made with artificial intelligence and “a tribute to the great Donostiarras cooks”: “The illustrator poster of the Big Donostiarra Week honors the bullfighting tradition of the city, together with Basque cuisine. Tribute to the great Donostiarras cooks, great fans of the Tauromaquia: Arzak, Berasstrategy, Rekondo, Aduriz, Subijana, Arbelaitz, Gandarias and many more.”

During Aste Nagusia, the Antitaurine Platform of Gipuzkoa organizes a demonstration every year against bullfights, and is usually multitudinous. In addition, in recent years, the bullfights of Illunbe have had little success, as in the stands of the square not many people have been seen, two years ago, for example, less than half of the square was filled in the first two days and three quarters the last day.
