HISTORY--The club founded in January 1989, which means we will be celebrating our eighth anniversary in 1997. We are now up to 35 members, mostly Dutch but also Spanish and Belgian. The peña, through its Executive Committee and its members, is in contact with many foreign taurine clubs, individual aficionados, and personalities of the bullring.
MEETINGS--The activities of the Peña Taurina de Holanda consist mainly of monthly meetings (every last Friday from September until June we meet in a side room of a Spanish restaurant in Amsterdam) in which we discuss taurine topics, show bullfight videos and generally have a nice time with fellow aficionados.
PUBLICATION--Since 1993, the peña has published a three-monthly magazine called "El Toro Detrás del Dique," now on its 15th edition. The magazine has twenty pages of varied, topical information ranging from personal reports on taurine ferias and festivals, the bullfight in Dutch literary history, and much more.
