The corralejas

Each year, in a Colombian city which is named SINCELEJO, the corralejas, a famous celebration takes place.

It is celebrated the third week at the beginning of the year, on the streets of this great city,.

Thousands of people come to see some bulls but it doesn´t mean just seeing because they get into the streets, and without any kind of experience they face all that bulls as a professionals bullfighters.

This traditional celebration takes six days. People from Sincelejo show to the rest of the country their cattle culture.
The thing is that some people say the corralejas may be pretty risky, and surely it is, but at the same time it is exiting, so if you have kids, take care of them and enjoy this party.

Forty bulls are used in this kind of game, but if you don´t like it, just go there and learn about this fantastic culture and see around through Sincelejo city, an authentic Colombian city.

Word Day of Laziness

Although it sounds strange there is a place in the world where this day is celebrated with full justification. This an a celebration that takes place in the town of Itagui - Antioquia, this is the most densely populated city in Colombia and where more than 7300 companies of which the majority of people are or were employed there.

This celebration is not an apology for leisure, or by not working, this is a celebration of the just and deserved break that takes place the last weekend of August, in which people take their chairs, beds and blankets to street and make the stew to accompany the celebration.

They also cultural and sports activities, I think the funniest is the race of rollaway beds, which are decorated and rewarded for their ingenuity and creativity.
This party achieved an integration of the locals of the city and an environment of complete rest to begin again the week with joy.
