Tixkokob Fair 2008: La Corrida
On any of the three nights of the corrida about 8000 people pay admission to the families who built the ring to see fights of varying quality, drink a formidable amount of beer, and watch local boys get the chance to be a cowboy for a day by chasing bulls around the ring in search of a cash prize. There is often as much activity behind the ring as there is in the center.
