                                        GUARDIAN

     After more than 600 years...bullfighting in Barcelona is ending.
     Some tickets to see the last match are going for up to E3500...each...to see the final 6 bulls die.
     Barcelona once hosted some important fights....with the first recorded match there in 1387.
     Bull fight lovers defend it as an art and denounce this infringement of their civil liberties.
     Animal lovers label bull fighting as mindless barbarity.
