Dalmatian bullfight
This amazingly beautiful sight can be seen in the small village of Radosic, which is located near Split. Fights take place between bulls without the participation of matadors and bullfighters. The field of the future bullfight is fenced off with a simple picket fence, and therefore the public more than once had to flee from angry bulls, who swept away everything in their path. Not a single man refuses to tickle your nerves.
In addition, a strong half of humanity can test their strength in various competitions, among which the main ones are wrestling on a log, tug-of-war, throwing stones at a distance. The funniest competition is the donkey race. It is necessary, sitting on the back of this stubborn animal, without using a saddle and harness to overtake rivals.
