The ‘Club Taurino de Mojácar’ was formed in August 2007 when we discovered that several of our friends
had a similar interest in the glamorous world of ‘Bullfighting’ or, as called by our Spanish hosts, the”feria
nacional”. Having said that, many of our members would never consider actually going to a corrida but are
interested to know more, so the club tries to provide information in a very social and convivial atmosphere.
30 attended the inaugural meeting, including matador Jose Olivencia, and now our membership is 251. We
regularly have about 40 friends to our meetings although some of our members do not live here full time but
join us when they can. At the request of members, we now meet weekly. We have no membership fees but at
venues where we incur a cost, we make a charge, normally 4 or 5 euros per person, to cover this and the use
of projector equipment when we show films.
We have taken groups of members on guided tours of the Plaza de Toros (Bullring) in Vera; to stay in Seville
for the Feria de abril and various Corridas (bullfights), locally. In May 2009, we had a 6 day Holiday in
Jerez/Cadiz and Ronda, for the Feria del Caballos. We also find that our club fulfills a social function in that,
although we live in beautiful surroundings, life can be a little lonely and dare I say it boring. The Club is
helping to fill this need and is proud of the number of new friendships and acquaintances that have already
formed.
We are also very aware that times are hard, with the appalling exchange rate and rapidly rising prices it can be
difficult to make ends meet. This being the case the Club is for its members, with no need to raise funds to
support other institutions or bodies, which means that all our functions are at COST price and therefore able to
appeal to a wide spectrum of the community.
Welcome to our circle, we hope you find our invitation interesting and as enjoyable as we do.
P.S. Why not bring your friends!
