[ The Royal Bullfight, or, as it used to be called, the “Kings Bullfight”, goes back to the Middle Ages, and there were many Portuguese Kings who were interested in this way of bullfighting.Great writers and artists fell in love for the Festa Brava. The exhibition called “Arte & Toiros” (Art & Bulls), by the painter Maria Sobral Mendonça is another artistic manifestation that transmits us a strong energy and which puts, once again, the city of Évora in the route of the Portuguese culture, as a consequence of other notable manifestations, from which stands out the concerts organized by Casa Cadaval.
To the City Hall of Évora, to its president, to the artist and the promoters of these events, I send my most sincere congratulations.
D. DUARTE, DUKE OF BRAGANÇA ]
