tourada à corda—bull on a rope. These bullfights are not like the Spanish type, in which the bull is killed and the danger is enclosed in a ring. In Terceira, a bull of an ancient strain, bred to be aggressive, is let loose on the main street in town. Well, almost loose. Seven shepherds—pastores—in white shirts with puffy sleeves and flat, black hats hold a rope attached to the bull.
