In l'Alcora, during the festivals of the Cristo, an unpleasant incident occurred between two raberos, who are the people responsible for holding the tail of the embolated bull during the tradition of the bous embolats. The bullfighting enthusiasts who were watching the bull test were witnesses to the fight.
The conflict happened precisely at the most critical moment of the event, which is when the bull's rope is cut. The two raberos got into a fistfight during this crucial phase of the tradition.
The bous embolats are a festive tradition in which a ball of fire is placed on the tip of the bull's horns. The raberos have the function of holding the animal's tail throughout the test until the moment the rope is cut.
The incident stained the traditional spectacle that normally attracts many spectators to the festivals of the Cristo in l'Alcora, creating a moment of tension between the participants during a celebration that should have been one of community.
