Bous a la Mar

A festival held annually in Spain. The name roughly translates to "Bulls to the Sea".

In this festival, participants are tasked with getting a bull to jump into the sea. This is achieved by angering the bull then jumping into the sea yourself when it charges, hoping that it will dive in after you.
