Before making the programme, like most people in the UK I thought bullfighting was cruel.
I'd been to Spain and Portugal on holiday but I'd never been to a bullfight and was glad I was getting the opportunity to find out more.
During the filming, I met Bernardo and his friends who are forcardo bullfighters. To them bullfighting is about family and cultural tradition.
Spending a day with them I noticed a really strong bond between the men. They were almost like brothers.
Like a football match
Later that evening I went to my first bullfight.
There was a real atmosphere surrounding the bullring, like a football match. People were selling nuts and there was a band playing traditional music.
It was like a show as all the men came out in their colourful costumes but once the fighters started chasing the bull things felt very different.
Would you go to a bullfight?
