The Plaza de México is getting ready for the return of bullfighting, or 'corridas de toros' in Spanish, starting this Sunday, January 28.

After a year-and-a-half long hiatus, the 'toreros' will once again wave their red capes in an event that excites many and scandalizes many others, especially animal rights activists and environmentalists, who are organizing a protest at the doors of the world's largest bullfighting ring.
