Publisher's blurb: Escaping to Spain is a popular dream, and recently Spain has been touted as the 'new Italy'. More than 50 million foreigners visit Spain each year, making it the most popular tourist destination in Europe after France and the third most visited country in the world. And why not? Spain is unique: with its fiestas, food and bullfights it is synonymous with flamboyance and romance, adventure and passion. In SPAIN BY THE HORNS, journalist and travel writer Tim Elliott takes us on a trip to the heart of Spain, in search of Jesus Janeiro Bazan, one of Spain's most famous matadors and the epitome of all things Spanish. Better known as 'Jesulin' (little Jesus), this current-day matador is to bullfighting what Beckham is to British football. Of course, Tim's journey in search of Jesulin, becomes a journey in search of the heart and soul of Spain itself. It's a fascinating quest - honest, funny and fast paced. Tim takes us on a personal journey through current-day Spain, its history, culture and food. Along the way we meet an assortment of quintessentially Spanish characters. As well, SPAIN BY THE HORNS is an absorbing insight into that uniquely Spanish pursuit of bullfighting, which is a world of corruption, eccentricity, ritual and passion.
