Hello, my name is Elliott, 29 and living in the UK but go on holiday to Spain each year as love the country and the weather mainly. I am going back again this year and staying in a rented villa in Colmenar near Malaga for 2 weeks in October. I have never been to see a bull fight and would like to. Does any one know if there will be one between 8th - 22nd october 2012 somewhere near Malaga?

 From Wikipedia, other way around, banned in Cataluñya but not in rest of spain.

 

On 18 December 2009, the parliament of Catalonia, one of Spain's seventeen Autonomous Communities, approved by majority the preparation of a law to ban bullfighting in Catalonia, as a response to a popular initiative against bullfighting that gathered more than 180,000 signatures.[56]On 28 July 2010, with the two main parties allowing their members a free vote, the ban was passed 68 to 55, with 9 abstentions. This meant Catalonia became the second Community of Spain (first was Canary Islands in 1991), and the first on the mainland, to ban bullfighting. The ban took effect on 1 January 2012, and only affects the one remaining functioning Catalonian bullring, the Plaza de toros Monumental de Barcelona.[31][57] It does not affect thecorrebous, a traditional game of the Ebro area (south of Catalonia) where lit flares are attached to a bull’s horns. The ‘correbous’ however are mainly seen in the municipalities in the south of Tarragona, with the exceptions of a few other towns in other provinces of Catalonia. The name correbous is essentially Catalan and Valencian, in other parts of Spain they have other names.[58]

If you can run fast I recommend the running of the bulls in Pamplona! Or the tomatina tomato fight.

 Bull fighting is still going strong in Andalucia - like it or not.  There are a lot of fiestas over the spring and summer which have portable bullrings set up, though these tend to be smaller.  Actually, the economic downturn and the lack of money at the ayuntamientos has seen that there are fewer of these travelling events!!!  

You could try flamenco - very entertaining without the blood!!!

 You could always come to Spain and try Skiing in Granada, or Scuba Diving on the coast!
