Lots of white hats on the move in this one.
I've never been to a Mexican rodeo but went to the bull fights in both PV & Mazatlan several times over the years. During one in PV, the toreador got seriously gored in the gut when he stumbled & fell. They carted him off with his intestines hanging out. Never heard whether he lived or not.

The bull ring in PV is a tourist thing now. No more bullfights there.Lots of white hats on the move in this one.

Yeah, I know. Same in Mazatlan. They use it occasionally for rodeo-like stuff.
I've been to PV only twice. Flew down once with my wife in the '80s & then drove down after I had gone down to the bottom of Barranca del Cobre in the '90s.
In contrast, Mazatlan has been a regular since we first rode the train down from Nogales in the early '70s. We bought one time-share in the '80s & another in the '90s, which we still own. It's in the most prestigious resort in the area -- Emerald Bay.
We began driving there many years ago. It's about 950 miles from our door to the resort, which makes for a leisurely 1.5-day drive with a stop in Navajoa going south & in Hermosillo on the return. I can do it in one day by myself, but Ellen is a sissy.
Due to my health issues, however, we no longer use it. So I try to sell the week for the deluxe 1BR, 900+ sq. foot suite each year for about what I pay as a maintenance fee -- under $1K. I haven't tried to peddle this years yet, though.
