Bull fights in Portugal

I can not find a website that gives the DATES of the bull fights in Portugal. (I have Spain websites)
My R.S. book says you can buy tickets at the gate..... but I need the dates to start planning my trip in April.

This makes me feel so ashamed of my Country! Yes, unfortunately we still have bull fights in Portugal. Less than they were used to be, but they still exist. And this existence appeals to cruel people, it appeals to those who keep it alive, no matters how many of us fight this terrible tradition. Fortunately bull fights are less and less everyday, many town abolished them (like Póvoa do Varzim or Vila do Conde). But yet... what can we do against the money of sadistic tourists...

Well said Helena. A dreadful practice that should be banned and not encouraged.

You mean killing.

Where I live, we have traditional, no-kill, bull games, like a US rodeo. Does that exist in Portugal?
