As in so much from places of the country, the Spanish thousand-year-old tradition of the worship to the Bull emerges. The man faces with what is cruel, with the force. The origin of the rite had significance, after died the bull, the man pressed his blood, ate its meat and its testicles, so that one force transmits this and capacity fecundate him. The habit to eat the meat was maintained throughout the centuries.

In Coria, the festivity one makes coincide with the summer solstice, between June the 23 and 29. The importance of this festivity is so large that one considers Cultural Patrimonies and sharp History of Coria, and was declared Festivity of Regional and National Tourist Interest.

The festivity consists in fighting with the bull in the place of the Town hall by much the courageous one, and to leave then you release with the animals so that what is mozos and not so much mozos, run in front of the bulls, that if, in the walled part of the Historical Helmet of Coria, which closes its four doors of the enclosure so that the bull does not escape. Two hours then the bull died but the entertainment continues in the enclosure, to wait until another imprisonment arrives which will be in the paddle.

The bull, so much with the Lydia as in the imprisonments, is the protagonist of the festivity, but around him: entertainment, the tradition, the risk, uproar, the arrival of the summer, the demonstration of the value, the challenge, etc. The atmosphere of the imprisonments is indescribable, the tension is consigned in the air, and they suffer it or they enjoy, as one supervises, so much runners like spectators.

The tradition to run the bulls is very old, it is already mentioned in data of the S XVII, in Chancillería de Valladolid, during the reign Felipe II.

But as not only with bulls one amuses the men and the women, the festivity of S Juan one decorates with concerts, folklore, of the contests, with the festivities of the rollers themselves...

This festivity is plain with the religious tradition, for instance: The festivities begin the 22, with the procession of the Christi Corpus, and at the next day there are mass and procession of San Juan. Followed procession of the first day, one names with the carry-flag or the carry-flag of the festivities, which is a City council man of the Town hall which takes care of the organization of the festivity this year.

The night of the day before, which is the night of San Juan, one promises a fire, in which one burns the capazo, and around fire it is sung and one dances, of clothing mozos and mozas of impeccable white with red handkerchiefs, as in San Fermines.

There is imprisonment of paddle and the morning, including Lydia of the bull. The imprisonments have chronic daily, can be long and complicated or fast and clean, which last only one pair of minutes.

There are generally incidences, normally not very serious. One generally manages of the anecdotes like the exit of little suitcases to shine with the bull and several tumbles. Between every day of Sanjuanes one day ago more complete, where three bulls are detached, one of paddle, another with half - day and another while falling.

Three contacts of bell of the Santiago Church inform of the release of the bulls by the streets. With the voice of "they touch the third bell", one detaches the bull. Those which will not run they must disappear from the closed enclosure. It is not easy to enter the course of the bull without the knowledge, is very clear, and is indicated that if you enter you run a risk that you voluntarily assume.

By the entire city one has visible sketches, in which one indicates the course of the bull, so that everyone is informed.

What is corianos respect with the bull, they do not maltreat it because he is the protagonist of the festivity. The runners not only must be courageous, but respectful with the bull and especially loans. They use the grids of the windows to be gone up when there is danger to be corneado, but know very well which choose, if they can, they prefer grid with a balcony in top, to go up to him if there is problem.

They say that Coria lays out the most perfect safety device of all the places where run themselves of the bulls, and which if a mishap arrives what is medical only they are long one minute in arriving. In spite of this, the institutions advise that the foreigners, before running, one informs many places of refuge which lays out the course, of the usual places of agglomerations, etc. By once, it is better not to do case with the proverb of: Where you go, do what you see. It is more advisable to see than what make, without intervening nothing more than in being amused, than it is very sure that do it.

Every year one delivers trophies to the best bulls, but there exists much of classifications, for example: Trophy "Popular Bull"; "Stupid of Coria"; "Bell July", to best launch bull; "Triana" the best bull presented, and the "Lemon", at worst the bull of the season.

Between the Rollers, which and are varied much, there is a history: The Parliament of Defence of the Bull of San Juan, which goes back to beginnings of the Century XX, whose end was to ensure that there are bulls in the festivity, if by one accidental town hall it could not be made I charge. The last end of the roller according to the act is to raise and propel the Roller. One period ago when the Sanjuanes did not take place, from 1937 to 1943, during which it ceased functioning the roller, but with time he was reorganized and since 1955 he functioned again until the topicality.
