alt.culture.bullfight
The abuelito of taurine internet newsgroups, complete with its own resident pundits and curmudgeons. This is the only group whose sole focus is the mundo taurino, and the posts can be quite esoteric. Posts typically appear in English with a regular minority in Spanish (some Portugese and Catalan too), and include news (most up-to-date during the Spanish temporada; frequently several new posts per day), occasional binary files (photos), occasional anti-taurine posts with the expected reactive apologia. Good place to post requests for information -- group is frequented by some VERY seasoned aficionados.

Any usenet group focused on a country in which bullfights occur may, at times have taurine-interest posts. These are most likely to be in Spanish than in English, and occur sporadically, in flurries -- more likely to cluster around the dates of important national ferias. See, for example:

  • soc.culture.catalan
  • soc.culture.colombia
  • soc.culture.ecuador
  • soc.culture.french
  • soc.culture.latin-america
  • soc.culture.mexican
  • soc.culture.peru
  • soc.culture.portugese
  • soc.culture.spain
    Possibly the most likely spot to find taurine posts -- but even here, rarely.

  • soc.culture.venezuela
  • If your news server does not provide access to one of these usenet groups, try the excellent service provided by DejaNews -- you can simply search for the group you are interested in, and then read the posts from their archives. You can also post TO the group here. If you ARE able to connect directly, it would be worth your time to visit DejaNews anyway -- many times it's archive will contain many posts that your newsserver missed.

    As an alternative, you might try this Japanese archive of alt.culture.bullfight posts. It's a web site, so you should be able to connect to it with your browser.
